Mary Lou Prevost
Industry Leadership of the Year
It wasn’t just state and local IT operations that shifted dramatically over the course of the pandemic — it was industry, too. Splunk invested heavily in cloud to “match what our customers were asking for,” says Mary Lou Prevost, Splunk’s group vice president for state, local and education. The company has also expanded its public-sector offerings to include search tools for unstructured data that can affect outcomes in areas including criminal justice, public safety, education and health care. Prevost says the company will continue to use its tools to enable state and local leaders to make better decisions.
