That means going beyond contracts to create lasting impact—through GovTech solutions, data-driven analysis, and proactive change management.Key Highlights:Built IGH into a nationwide firm serving both DOD and Civilian agencies for nearly 20 years.Lead a globally dispersed workforce delivering program management, full lifecycle grant management, and administrative solutions.Proven track record of improving mission outcomes through technology adoption, performance optimization, and employee engagement.Proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran—bringing discipline, resilience, and service-driven leadership into every aspect of business.I am passionate about public service, GovTech innovation, and empowering teams to deliver excellence at scale.If you’re interested in discussing federal contracting, technology-enabled government solutions, or veteran-led leadership in GovTech, let’s connect.
