By upgrading systems and modernizing procedures, they ensured that millions of small businesses received their Paycheck Protection Program loans. Additionally, he led the modernization of the SBA’s flagship 7a Program, a program for providing financial assistance to small businesses, creating a new operating model, and laying the foundation for digital transformation, helping small businesses survive and grow.
In the coming years, Mr. Roy aims to expand the digital practice at Guidehouse, focusing on modernizing U.S. government agencies.
