About Tina J. Walha

How can we truly make government work better for residents, while also building governments\' resilience? At U.S. Digital Response, I get to help state and local governments deliver better digital services. Prior to USDR, my career was split between working in mayors offices and partnering with government clients as a management consultant to explore new and creative answers to that question. In Seattle and New York City, I explored how to use policy, data, and community voice to drive better government services. At Accenture, I learned from public servants at the city, county, state, Federal, and international level while setting organizational strategy and exploring opportunities for impact. The common thread across my work in all three sectors is helping the public sector deliver for communities; it\'s what fires me up every day.
