- Oversee concurrent, enterprise-level initiatives outside the main software baseline, including the extension of legacy bridging contracts to ensure uninterrupted military operations and the management of rapid prototyping vehicles to mature new technologies.
- Supervise branch personnel executing the enterprise intake and engagement process, structuring the workforce to efficiently guide new government and commercial partners through complex technical and regulatory alignment.
