About

Director of Enterprise Sales at Hadrian, a precision manufacturing company building the factory infrastructure the U.S. defense industrial base actually needs. Eighteen years prior inside Raytheon and Lockheed Martin - program management, business development, ITAR-qualified production environments.

My focus is on the gap between what defense primes require and what the supplier base can currently deliver, and on the companies building new capacity to close it. I write about this at Notes on the Industrial Base.
