Head of AI & Data strategy, Revolutionizing GovCon at Procurement Sciences

I help Aerospace & Defense organizations modernize without losing what makes them mission-critical.

With 15+ years in A&D at Lockheed Martin and GDIT, I know the terrain: complex programs, siloed systems, tight compliance, and the high stakes of delivering at scale. Now at Salesforce, I work with public sector leaders to align technology with mission outcomes — using tools like Data Cloud, Mulesoft, Tableau, and Slack to make transformation not just possible, but practical.

My edge? I speak your language — program lifecycle, cybersecurity, workforce upskilling, supply chain visibility — and bring solutions that fit the reality of your environment, not fantasy decks.

Proud husband to an Army veteran, and someone who’s built digital strategy from the inside out.

Let’s connect if you’re navigating digital transformation in Aerospace & Defense — and want a partner who gets both the mission and the margin.
