As agencies push harder on efficiency, modernization, and measurable mission outcomes, federal contractors are being forced to rethink how they scale, invest, and compete. In this episode of CEO Perspectives, we sit down with two leaders operating directly at the center of that shift. Gurpreet Singh, CEO of Infotrend, and Bob Etris, Managing Partner at Evans, share how their organizations are approaching AI, automation, data, modernization, and sustainable operational growth in a market that is demanding more with less. Infotrend continues to advance mission-focused AI/ML, investigative, and emerging technology capabilities for government clients through its rapidly evolving CoreSuite ecosystem, helping agencies transform complex data into actionable mission intelligence. Evans is helping organizations deploy technology solutions that not only modernize systems but create long-term operational impact through human-centered implementation and measurable execution. Moderating the discussion is Ryan Reiskin, Partner at The Baldwin Group. The Baldwin Group is a cohesive group of experts in business insurance, employee benefits, retirement planning, and all areas of private and personal insurance. At The Baldwin Group, they help provide the solutions clients need to have confidence and gain peace of mind as they pursue what’s possible for themselves, their families, and their businesses. The conversation explores how leaders are adapting to a tighter and more scrutinized market, balancing investment in AI and innovation against operational discipline, redefining leadership expectations, and reevaluating what strong strategic partnerships look like in today’s federal landscape. The group also tackles a forward-looking question many in the market are thinking about, but not discussing enough. What hard shifts will federal contractors need to make over the next two years to remain competitive? If you are trying to understand where federal technology, modernization, and operational strategy are heading next, this is a conversation worth your time.
