About Ike Ezem

Preparation, effort, and attitude. These are a few of the attributes that define me as a professional and have helped me enjoy success in my career. I really enjoy searching for and finding solutions to problems. I love being part of a diverse team and working in a collaborative environment to accomplish organizational goals. As a Program Operations and Project Management professional working for a Fortune 500 company, I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside and learning from some of the most brilliant minds in the defense industry. Throughout my career I’ve been faced with many difficult decisions and challenging situations. I routinely work to solve problems and create solutions that add value for external and internal stakeholders alike. I utilize resources strategically to ensure that cost and schedule requirements are being met on the multiple programs and contracts that I support. When I’m not busy putting out cubicle fires, I’m probably engaging in some kind of fitness activity (health is wealth), coaching my daughter’s youth soccer team, at home grilling out in my backyard, or making travel plans with family and friends.
