announced that Mark Lee has been
named chief technology executive, and Jennifer Welham will lead ICF's health, human

In his new role, Lee will lead a new group focused on increasing

broader position to build on that," said John Wasson, ICF chair and CEO. "His proven
leadership capabilities and ability to successfully incorporate
technology into our solution set will be a tremendous benefit as we
continue to create long-term, distinctive value for our clients
across all of our markets."
As the group lead for ICF's health, human services and workforce
business, Welham will focus on supporting the company's U.S.
federal health, social programs, security and
organizational customers and growing the business which has had a
record number of contract wins this year. Her broad team supports
several of the firm's longest-standing clients as well as its
largest single client, the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services.
"I am excited to have Jen take on this new, expanded role,"
continued Wasson. "She brings strong subject matter expertise, an
excellent track record for growing a business unit and a passion
for creating healthier and more resilient communities. I'm
confident that she will continue to find new ways to deliver
high-impact, scalable solutions that help our clients achieve their
missions."
Welham, who has been at ICF for several decades, previously led
the team that provides research, analytics, training, technical
assistance and evaluation support to a wide range of U.S. federal
health clients, including the National Institutes of Health, the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Agency for
International Development and the Administration for Children and
Families, among others. Welham has been named Healthcare Industry
Executive of the Year by WashingtonExec.
