Meet Katie

Katie Hermosilla leads the national resilience market within our civil business, which includes Booz Allen’s work with agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of Treasury, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and independent agencies like the General Services Administration and the National Science Foundation. 

She has more than 30 years of experience building and implementing advanced technology solutions to improve outcomes across critical federal missions, including economic development, public benefits administration, land management, public safety, and tax revenue collection. She leads teams that envision, develop, and implement software and infrastructure platforms that support data-intensive civil missions. Her teams leverage emerging technologies, including cloud and data platforms, to transform legacy systems into the agentic AI-based systems of the future.

Katie began her career as a civilian employee of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), where she contributed to and led major business process and data reengineering initiatives across the agency. She later moved into technology consulting, leading the development and deployment of enterprise-wide federal financial assistance management systems. These systems serve as the backbone of civil agency operations by supporting the distribution of discretionary and non-discretionary grant funding to state, local, tribal, and non-government recipients.

Katie holds a B.S. in electrical engineering from Penn State University and an M.S. in systems engineering, with a concentration in artificial intelligence and decision support, from George Mason University.
