Federal & Defense Advisory

Bridge the gap between executive strategy and technical execution.

We provide senior advisory services focused on modernizing federal IT portfolios, enforcing fiscal governance, and deploying scalable analytics — serving as a neutral strategic partner to leadership, navigating the political and operational silos that internal staff cannot breach.

The difference

The “De Facto CIO” perspective

Unlike generalist firms, we bring the specific perspective required to navigate complex DoD environments — 28+ years of defense experience and P&L-style accountability for $500M+ annual portfolios. We understand the pressure of the chair and the speed of mission, ensuring technology investments directly support mission outcomes.

Enterprise Modernization Strategy

Portfolio rationalization, cloud migration planning, and legacy sunsetting roadmaps — targeting 85%+ consolidation.

Strategic Facilitation & Coalition Building

Breaking organizational logjams by aligning C-suite vision with technical program execution. Specializing in cross-agency collaboration and “frozen middle” breakthroughs.

IT Governance & Financial Stewardship

Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC), P&L-style portfolio management, and FIAR audit remediation.

Data & Analytics Transformation

Enterprise data fabrics, predictive analytics (AI/ML), and executive dashboarding — Advana, Tableau, and beyond.

Coalition & Partner Integration

International data interoperability (Five Eyes) and cross-agency coalition building that drives unified mission outcomes.

Past performance

Results are the only currency that matters.
