ABOUT MARKO LABUDOVIC

I’m a senior aerospace & defense executive with over 30 years of leadership experience scaling high-performing engineering and product organizations. Currently, I serve as Senior Director of Engineering at Mercury Systems, where I lead 200+ engineers across 14 sites and focus on secure, mission-critical technologies.In parallel, for the past 10 years, I’ve served as an Expert Consultant, advising private equity firms, institutional investors, and strategy teams on defense M&A, market entry, competitive positioning, and emerging technologies. These engagements — often valued at and cumulatively exceeding $1.5M — require translating complex technical environments into clear investment and growth strategies.Throughout my career, I’ve led large, multi-site engineering teams, contributed to enterprise-scale organizations supporting engineers, driven over $1B in revenue growth, integrated multi-million dollar acquisitions, and developed product and technology roadmaps across land, air, sea, and cyber domains.My passion lies at the intersection of technology, strategy, and value creation—whether through full-time executive leadership or targeted advisory work. Always open to connecting with those working in defense innovation, growth investing, and national security.
