Experience Across Defense and Federal Portfolios

My experience spans the Office of the Secretary of Defense, acquisition and sustainment organizations within OUSD(A&S) and the former OUSD(AT&L), including Enterprise Information within Acquisition Resources and Analysis, as well as the OUSD Comptroller, Department of the Navy, Army Program Executive Offices, and the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Information and Technology. Across these organizations, I have supported modernization priorities, competing funding needs, and complex program portfolios—from multiyear IT planning to resource strategy for multibillion-dollar defense investments.

I have held roles with Booz Allen Hamilton, CACI, Quantech, LMI, and The Purdy Group. At Booz Allen Hamilton, I supported Navy N1 resource planning, the Career Training Continuum, and CIO/N1 enterprise IT transformation. At CACI, I led Army PPBES and acquisition financial management for PEO Combat Support & Combat Service Support and PM Expeditionary Energy & Sustainment Systems, advising ACAT I–III program managers on tactical power and sustainment portfolios. At VA, I served as planning and programming lead for a 21-program IT portfolio encompassing more than $200 million annually and developed its multiyear resource plan. Earlier work with Quantech and The Purdy Group included enterprise acquisition analysis, OSD Comptroller support, coordination with OMB and CAPE, and Department-level portfolio reviews. At The Purdy Group, I identified contract optimization opportunities and contributed to more than $400 million in acquisition and resource efficiencies.
