Renny DiPentima to Speak at ExecutiveBiz

Renny DiPentima

Renny DiPentima has long been considered the dean of the IT community in the federal space. He was one of the first CIO’s in the government, at the Social Security Administration, and helped launch the federal CIO Council.

DiPentima retired after 32 years in government and earlier this year announced his retirement at SRA. When DiPentima arrived at SRA 12 years ago, the company’s revenue was about $135 million — it’s now over $1 billion.

In a rare appearance, come hear Renny DiPentima give his thoughts on the landscape of the federal contracting space on Jan 24, 2008. Past speakers have included Joe Kampf, Jim Ballard, Bahman Atefi and Jack London. This series, titled “Been There Done That” will honor his lifetime achievement in and out of the government.
