River Kong
Principal Consultant, Public Sector
I am very passionate about helping different government and healthcare organizations modernize responsibly, using technology as an enabler to improve services for the public. Supporting Canadian public sector and healthcare authorities through complex digital transformation initiatives and seeing tangible improvements in system reliability, security, and service delivery continues to inspire my work every day. I feel honored and proud to collaborate with our clients to make a meaningful impact on the people and communities they serve.
With over 15 years of industry experience working with leading technology providers including Microsoft, SAP, Apple, and Dell, I bring deep expertise in public-sector IT strategy, financial governance, and enterprise contract negotiation. I work closely with clients to optimize technology investments, strengthen vendor accountability, and ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively, so they can remain focused on their mandate in delivering high-quality public services to Canadians.
