Our Impact Case studies are short documents that showcase our trainees’ experiences with and impacts from Academy programming.

Ann Lewis came to the Aspen Policy Academy’s inaugural Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI) program from a career as a software engineer, technical leader, and most recently as a tech executive at a nonprofit organization, and went on to lead one of the most powerful tech agencies in the federal government. Ann arrived with 17 years of tech industry experience and a penchant for creative problem solving. During the program, she learned from instructors and peers about the challenges and opportunities of policy implementation at scale, and how tech leadership can drive better policy impact and outcomes. TELI showed Ann that technology and policy are deeply intertwined, and have a huge impact on how well government actually works for the people it serves.
