Following the momentum of its highly successful inaugural SOVRA Summit, SOVRA today announced the formation of its new Advisory Board, a strategic initiative designed to deepen alignment with public sector priorities and accelerate innovation throughout the product.

LATHAM, N.Y., May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Following the momentum of its highly successful inaugural SOVRA Summit, SOVRA today announced the formation of its new Advisory Board, a strategic initiative designed to deepen alignment with public sector priorities and accelerate innovation throughout the product. The Board will comprise seasoned government and industry leaders who will directly influence SOVRA’s product roadmap, go-to-market strategies, and long-term vision.

“We didn’t create an Advisory Board just to have one. We created it to drive measurable impact.”

The first appointment to the SOVRA Advisory Board is Gary Lambert, former Assistant Secretary for Operational Services at the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Lambert brings over 30 years of highly leveraged leadership experience in public sector procurement, strategic sourcing, acquisitions, and management.

As a nationally recognized procurement expert and three-time recipient of the prestigious Manuel Carballo Award for Excellence in Public Service, Lambert has consistently demonstrated an ability to drive operational excellence while balancing innovation and fiscal responsibility, qualities critical to SOVRA’s mission of empowering government procurement teams.

“Public procurement is undergoing a critical transformation, and it’s more important than ever to have solutions that are deeply informed by the realities agencies face every day,” said Lambert. “I’m excited to work with SOVRA to help shape offerings that truly meet the evolving needs of the public sector.”

The SOVRA Advisory Board will serve as an essential forum for capturing the customer’s voice, providing candid feedback, and ensuring that SOVRA’s research, development, and strategic initiatives stay grounded in the real-world challenges and opportunities facing state and local governments, higher education, and public sector organizations across North America.

“We didn’t create an Advisory Board just to have one. We created it to drive measurable impact,” said Luc Filiatreault, Chief Executive Officer at SOVRA. “Gary’s appointment reflects our continuing commitment to build unparalleled expertise, ensuring that our roadmap is shaped by the people who understand public procurement best, those who live it.”

The creation of the Advisory Board marks a pivotal chapter in SOVRA’s growth, reinforcing its commitment to delivering smarter, outcome-focused solutions for public procurement. Additional board members will be announced in the coming months.
