1994-1997 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – Arlington, VA
Program Manager
Handled program definition, technical/financial plans, project selection and
management
• Managed DARPA's Planning & Decision Aids program, refocusing it
toward plan repair/adaptation and collaborative planning. Initiated

electronic commerce. Architected concept of plan sentinels, an early
warning system for plan breakdowns. Selected and guided contracts
valued over $50M.
• Advised the Defense Logistics Agency on creating its first R&D program,
valued at $40M, and negotiated and managed its coordination with
DARPA investments
