About Garrett Stroup

Engineering leader with 15 years of industry and federal experience. I deeply value humility, emotional intelligence, and communication, and rely on my technical skillset and process focus to drive complex projects across the finish line. I embrace lifelong learning and growth, and enjoy a good read or course that broadens my perspective or sharpens a skill. I have been blessed with the opportunity to contribute to the missions of incredible organizations, and look forward to the challenges ahead.
