“Derrick brings a wealth of experience to Maximus as a noted
leader in technology modernization and strategic leadership, and we
are excited about adding those skills to our talented executive
team,” said Bruce Caswell, President and CEO of Maximus. “The CDIO
role supersedes the Chief Information Officer role and will

intelligence and machine learning, to optimize business processes
for our government partners.”
Pledger has more than two decades of experience in the
government technology industry, with a strong history of success
across application development, cloud computing, data analytics,
cyber resilience, governance, and technology modernization. He
joins Maximus after serving as CDIO at Leidos, where Pledger
successfully led a global team of technologists, developers,
enterprise architects, and service delivery experts responsible for
managing a digital ecosystem supporting more than 47,000
employees.
“Maximus has positioned itself at the forefront of technology
modernization across state, federal, and international government
agencies in its delivery of business services and technology
solutions. This new role is a tremendous opportunity to join a
growing team and lead it to even greater heights,” said Pledger.
“There is unlimited potential as we combine our award-winning
technology capabilities with a talented staff of technology
professionals to design implementation strategies for agencies,
deliver enhanced service, and more effectively support their
missions.”
Pledger is a U.S. Army Veteran who served multiple tours of duty
overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa in both
public and private sector roles. His career accomplishments span a
wide range of technologies and capabilities with a common focus on
outcome-based delivery. Reflecting his commitment to talent
development, Pledger recently implemented a broad upskilling
program for CDIO personnel in analytics, cloud, and AI.
Those accomplishments have led to a host of honors for Pledger,
as he received the Modern Day Technology Leader Award in 2017 and
has been named to several Top Execs lists for Cloud and CIO
leaders. He also serves on the Pamplin College of Business,
Business Information Technology Advisory Board at Virginia Tech,
the Customer Advisory Board for Rancher Government Solutions, and
the Advisory Board for CapitalCIO.
