INTRODUCTION OF US
A LEADERSHIP TEAM THAT DELIVERS RESULTS
Our team of experts brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, having deployed multi-billion dollar weapons systems, satellite command and control stations, aircraft to foreign militaries, and space control capabilities. We have led and managed defense budgets exceeding $4.3 billion, overseen missile defense programs for the Department of Defense, launched and tested national security satellites, and commanded direct reporting units of the Air Force. Our experience includes navigating the intricacies of Pentagon bureaucracy from inside and outside the system as members of the Joint Staff, MAJCOM staff, program offices, and operational units.
We take pride in the real-world experience of our team members, who have flown in combat missions, from special operations to ISR to F-16s and A-10s. Our team has executed F-22 flight tests, designed the initial operational test for the F-35, and includes bronze star recipients and veterans who continue to serve. If your mission contributes to strengthening National Security, regardless of your area of expertise, we want to meet you and support your goals.
