My responsibilities include the operational defensive strategy, the Cybersecurity Intelligence and Response Center, the architecture, engineering, development, integration, and operations for all cyber capabilities including cloud, perimeter, endpoint, and identity management as well as enterprise vulnerability management including our penetration test and red teams.

Lockheed Martin IS&GS
Senior Capability Manager
In 2012, I took over a $6.6B IDIQ. In the 2 years prior no competitive work had been won on the vehicle. I quickly developed, received senior leadership approval, and executed a new strategy and growth campaign while continuing my day-to-day PM responsibilities. Over the initial 18 month period, the execution of the growth strategy quickly led to LM's first two wins on the vehicle, and I then led the capture and strategy of LM's first prime win a $200M award in 2013 for IT infrastructure engineering, EIES.
Following the EIES win in 2013, I led the successful transition, start-up, and incorporation of the five legacy contracts. Through strong execution by the team and quickly built customer partnerships I grew the program by 262% in the first year. This included the shaping of three strategic components supporting the entire customer community as sole source awards to EIES.
In parallel with those activities I shaped key 2014 opportunities for the vehicle, leading the strategy and bid for the $6B IDIQ re-compete, and supporting strategy and capture activities for a number of related customers in the community.
