Kendra is a digital strategist and product leader who specializes in leveraging digital platforms to scale best practices. Named one of State Scoop’s Top Women in Technology for 2017 and 2018, Kendra is a champion for digital best practices within both the public and private sectors.

As part of her role as Director of Product for Ad Hoc's Federal Civilian business unit, Kendra leads Ad Hoc’s platform capability maturity team, where her wealth of experience informs her work with a team of strategists to assess the technical platform maturity of federal agencies and establish roadmaps to platform adoption.

Before joining Ad Hoc, Kendra established the product practice for Digital Services Georgia, where she oversaw the state of Georgia’s enterprise web platform. Under her leadership, Georgia was the first state to scale responsive design, accessibility, web performance, and HTTPS everywhere across their web platform. She also operationalized training and support processes for the state’s nearly 500 content managers.

Kendra then spent three years leading product strategy for the first federal agency API platform, where she worked closely with a team of more than 40 technologists in an agile environment to scale API availability and security as well as developer relations and adoption. The program continues to be a model for new API platforms across the US federal landscape.
