ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Technology moves fast. Building a great company is harder. In today’s federal market, the leaders separating themselves aren’t simply adopting AI, cloud, and data. They’re building the teams, culture, and discipline to turn those capabilities into mission results.
OrangeSlices recently brought together three accomplished CEOs for a CEO Perspectives conversation: David Chafin, CEO of Imagine Believe Realize (IBR); Matthew Tarjick, CEO and Managing Director of South River Federal Solutions; and Parvathi “Par” Rachakonda, CEO of Tech2i.
David has helped grow IBR from a one-person startup into an established federal technology company known for strong teams, exceptional customer performance, and modern capabilities spanning digital transformation, DevSecOps, cloud, low-code, and AI. Matthew brings more than two decades of military leadership to South River Federal, a mission-driven SDVOSB supporting healthcare, readiness, and transformation across the federal landscape. And Par brings deep technical and operational experience to Tech2i, applying a career built around data, technology, and large-scale delivery to practical cloud, data, and Salesforce solutions.
Moderating the discussion is Ryan Reiskin, Partner at The Baldwin Group.

The conversation gets into what CEOs are wrestling with right now: building high-performing teams, investing intelligently in technology, protecting culture while growing, and staying disciplined as the federal market changes around them.
If you want to hear how three very different company builders are thinking about leadership, growth, technology, and what it takes to stay relevant and deliver in today’s federal market, this is a conversation worth listening to.
