Biography

Julie Hoyte, a 1989 Milken Scholar, is the founder and CEO of Health Information Technology Solutions (HITS), an SBA-certified SDVOSB, 8(a), and EDWOSB firm delivering human-centered design, DEVSECOPS/CI/CD, user experience, and strategic planning solutions to federal agencies. She has led successful engagements with the Defense Health Agency (DHA) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Information and Technology, driving mission-critical outcomes that improve efficiency, usability, and impact.

Her career began as a nurse before serving in the U.S. Army, where she first recognized the power of healthcare IT to transform diagnostics and care delivery. That experience shaped her commitment to advancing systems that support both providers and patients through streamlined, intelligent solutions.

At HITS, Julie has built a multidisciplinary team that solves challenges at the intersection of technology, policy, and care delivery. Her leadership ensures DHA and VA enterprise platforms are technically sound, strategically aligned, and emotionally intelligent—elevating user experience, supporting decision-making, and delivering measurable impact.

Beyond HITS, Julie serves in two Veterans Service Organizations. As Commander of a Disabled American Veterans chapter in Northern Virginia, she leads the chapter’s operations and volunteers to deliver services and advocacy for veterans and leads its Veterans Benefit Protection Team; for the Commonwealth of Virginia Department DAV, she serves on the constitution and bylaw committee and participates in member disciplinary trails. As an American Legion Judge Advocate for a post in Northern Virginia, she advises the post on the constitution and bylaws and the legality of its actions, and may preside over member disciplinary trials and help audit post finances.
