About Richard Reece
With more than 24 years of leadership in communications, policy, and modernization, including 15 years in strategic electromagnetic spectrum planning, I bring a proven ability to align technology, operations, and strategy to achieve measurable results. As the Senior Strategic Electromagnetic Spectrum Officer for the United States Marine Corps, I have led initiatives shaping national spectrum policy, guided joint modernization efforts, and managed a $900 million portfolio through the Spectrum Relocation Fund to enhance mission readiness and operational resilience. My expertise includes portfolio management, program leadership, spectrum management, RF systems, 5G integration, satellite communications, and telecommunications strategy. I have successfully bridged the gap between engineering, acquisition, and executive decision-making, collaborating with federal agencies, government contractors, and industry partners to drive innovation and ensure spectrum-dependent systems remain secure, interoperable, and future ready. My thought leadership on the role of spectrum in modern defense operations was featured in the Marine Corps Gazette in April 2025. You can find the full article in my Featured section below. I am now transitioning from active service and seeking senior-level opportunities in portfolio management, program execution, spectrum strategy, and technology integration within private industry or government contracting. I am particularly interested in organizations focused on RF communications, 5G, satellite systems, and spectrum-dependent technologies.
