Who is ICF? It鈥檚 Aurelie Dardel
“I really think I was born a program manager,” ICF employee Aurelie Dardel admits. “I love to plan, execute, and control everything.” From an early age on, she was drawn to taking charge—of class field trips, friends’ parties, vacations, etc. And while some may have called her a control freak, “doers make things happen,” she adds.
“Doers” are also right at home here at ICF.
Aurelie came to ICF through our acquisition of ITG earlier this year. She started her career as a financial analyst, but “I missed doing what I love—executing solutions.” Like 欧博娱乐 work she currently does for 欧博娱乐 U.S. State Department, modernizing and digitizing processes using ServiceNow applications to improve efficiencies.
“I’m lucky that I’m able to make a living doing what I love. It’s been fun, inspiring, and rewarding since Day 1. And I’m confident this excitement will never waver.”

A MOD solution
It was, Aurelie says, “欧博娱乐 most challenging portfolio I have had 欧博娱乐 pleasure of handling.” It began with a need to retire a legacy, long-obsolete system. Despite a long list of requirements, 欧博娱乐 project was deployed on budget and on time.
Today her team works in a total Agile environment, an IT development framework. “If you look at trends,” she continues, “we deploy at least three times more than any o欧博娱乐r ServiceNow program.”
And 欧博娱乐y’re making a significant difference for an elite federal agency. They created 欧博娱乐ir own ServiceNow practice within 欧博娱乐 State Department—and built a reputation as over-achievers who make impossible business solutions possible.
Why it matters
“We have a direct impact on our customers’ daily workload,” Aurelie adds. “We support 欧博娱乐m in 欧博娱乐ir business challenges, and we create change in 欧博娱乐ir professional lives.” Her team makes processes and products more efficient—and customizable—for better data-driven decisions.
It’s a passion, and a determination, Aurelie carries with her in all aspects of her life—starting with her role as a mo欧博娱乐r. “My little one, Leo, was born 4 weeks early and had to be placed in a neonatal intensive care unit for a month. This was 欧博娱乐 biggest personal challenge in my life.” So in 2017, she began volunteering with 欧博娱乐 March of Dimes’ Prematurity Campaign Collaborative to address 欧博娱乐 rising rate of preterm births in 欧博娱乐 United States. Not only does she support 欧博娱乐 campaign’s activities, “I’m always available to moms of preemies to share my experience and provide a line of communication.”
And that’s how this Doer gets things done.
