Kate Caruso Wins 2025 ITAM Rising Star Award

We're thrilled to announce that Katherine (Kate) Caruso has been named the 2025 ITAM Rising Star Award Winner at the ITAM Excellence Awards. Following her selection as a finalist, Kate earned top honors in North America and competed as a global finalist, distinguishing herself among more than 100 entries from around the world.

This recognition from the ITAM Forum validates what we see every day: Kate brings exceptional talent and genuine dedication to helping government agencies build stronger, more effective asset management programs.

What Makes Kate's Approach Different

Kate's ITAM Rising Star win highlights her ability to look at federal asset management challenges and see solutions that others might miss. She leverages modern tools and methodologies in ways that help agencies modernize without abandoning the governance standards they need to maintain.

What sets Kate apart is how she combines technical expertise with genuine care for the people she's helping. Whether guiding agencies through FISMA compliance requirements, software licensing complexities, or cloud asset transitions, Kate finds ways to make things work better for everyone involved.

Her approach helps agencies meet federal compliance requirements while making implementation practical for IT teams managing diverse technology portfolios.

Recognition That Reflects Real Impact

The ITAM Excellence Awards celebrate professionals who deliver measurable results in complex government environments, not just those who understand theory. Federal agencies operate where security protocols, budget constraints, and mission-critical operations intersect. Success requires someone who can translate technical requirements into practical solutions that actually work within these realities.

Kate does exactly that.

Every day, we see the impact of Kate's work as agencies transform their technology management practices, free up resources for mission-critical initiatives, and build stronger compliance postures. This award reflects the dedication she brings to advancing effective asset management in government environments.

We're incredibly proud of Kate and grateful to work alongside someone whose expertise truly makes a difference. This recognition is well-deserved, and we're excited to see the continued impact she'll have on federal ITAM.

Congratulations, Kate.
