Build and manage a partner ecosystem aligned to DOT and FAA needs, including OEMs, niche innovators, and small business teammates to strengthen access and competitiveness

Pursue DOE opportunities selectively as a secondary adjacency, prioritizing only those that align with DOT and FAA momentum, and do not distract from core growth execution

10 plus years of business development, capture, and growth leadership in federal civilian markets, with strong depth in DOT and FAA

Executive presence and strong communication skills, comfortable engaging senior government leaders and internal executives

U.S. Citizenship required

Preferred Qualifications

Established relationships and credibility within FAA and DOT, including program, technical, and acquisition stakeholders

Demonstrated experience driving growth in FAA modernization domains (air traffic systems, NAS modernization, automation, engineering services, cyber, cloud, data)
