I’m a mission-driven federal IT executive with over 20 years of success leading both strategic capture efforts and program delivery for high-value contracts across agencies like DHS, TSA, NASA, NOAA, NSA, and USDA. I’ve led and transitioned programs ranging from $80M to $300M, developed win strategies that have secured $1B+ in federal awards, and built high-performing teams that deliver complex IT, cybersecurity, and cloud modernization solutions—on time and under budget.I hold a TS/SCI clearance with Full Scope Polygraph and bring a dual-lens approach: the precision and rigor of a PMP-certified program manager, and the strategic foresight of a Shipley-informed capture executive. Whether guiding an Agile modernization team through transition or developing price-to-win and win themes for a major recompete, I align delivery with mission impact.My toolkit includes: Agile / SAFe frameworks, ITILv4, CMMI, DevSecOps, AI/ML integration, and multi-cloud (AWS/Azure) solutions—used not for buzzwords, but to generate measurable value like improving SLA compliance, reducing false positives in TSA vetting, or accelerating time to award.Let’s connect if you’re focused on• Pursuing or recompeting major federal IDIQs or BPAs• Transitioning and scaling complex federal programs• Delivering data-driven, secure, and mission-aligned technology solutionsOpen to executive capture, program delivery, or advisory roles
