Heather Papoulis

Heather Papoulis is the Product Marketing Manager for Progress Federal Solutions (PFS). She shapes how Progress Data Platform products and professional services are positioned for U.S. Federal, SLED, and international government and agency markets. Her specialty is making complex systems easy to understand. She takes technical capabilities, compliance requirements, and mission priorities and turns them into clear messaging for the people who evaluate, buy, and use them.

Her approach comes from behavioral science. Before moving into technology, Heather was an internationally certified animal behaviorist and founded an animal technology company. There she learned to analyze complex systems, constraints, and behavior, then turn them into practical plans. In the federal technology sector, she applies that same discipline: breaking down complex solutions and translating them for each audience, from technical evaluators to mission leaders.

At PFS, Heather leads go-to-market strategy, sales enablement, and content that shows public sector organizations how Progress supports their missions.
