Rene LaVigne

CEO
Iron Bow Technologies

Rene LaVigne has been at the helm of Iron Bow Technologies since its inception in 2010, when it was formed as a privately held organization after being spun out of Apptis Technology Solutions.

Under LaVigne’s leadership, Iron Bow has launched a mobile telehealth education unit that will visit 175 Veterans Affairs medical centers, military health facilities, and other health care systems. The unit allows Iron Bow trainers to deliver health care technology information and training to medical providers across the country.

Iron Bow has offices in Laurel and in Virginia, Washington, Florida and Hawaii. The privately held company, which has about 500 employees, was named a “2017 Top Workplace” by The Washington Post.

“What we do with the Iron Bow platform matters,” LaVigne says. “I am committed to doing the best job possible every day, investing in those around me, and having a positive impact on society.”

Iron Bow has forged partnerships with some of the most recognizable companies in the technology space, including, among others, Dell, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Cisco and Tenable.

LaVigne has a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Loyola Marymount University. He is a certified public accountant and serves as chairman of the board of directors for the Maryland Tech Council, of which he has been a member since 2002.

He is also co-chairman of the board of directors for GovEvolve, an advocacy organization that promotes public policies that encourage innovation, competitiveness and government information-technology modernization.
