About Troy Zeidman
I thrive on solving complex challenges and turning strategy into measurable results. As Director of Strategic Programs & Initiatives at L3Harris ForceX, I lead a $213M portfolio and high‑performing teams to deliver innovative technology solutions that strengthen the effectiveness of our Armed Forces. My career has evolved from program turnaround specialist to senior leader shaping enterprise strategy, driving financial growth, and ensuring a “WoW” experience for customers even during rapid expansion.Previously, I served as VP of Operations at Imprimis, Inc, where I led geographically dispersed teams across Colorado Springs, Huntsville, and El Paso, expanding technical services and securing multimillion‑dollar contracts. Earlier, I honed lean six sigma and operational excellence skills at Caterpillar, building on the foundation of my service as a combat veteran and Army Aviation officer after graduating from West Point.I am passionate about creating strategies that solve hard problems, fostering cultures where teams thrive, and mentoring leaders to achieve ambitious goals. Beyond corporate leadership, I am deeply engaged in community service — serving on the PMI Nashville Board and elected as President Elect of my local Rotary Club for 2026 — where I continue to build partnerships and drive civic impact.If you are looking to use your technology skills to make a difference in the world, reach out.
