She will also lead the firm’s teams in software engineering and IT infrastructure systems for the Federal Civilian Market. Neely previously served as Vice President of Operations at LIST Innovative Solutions, as well as VP and Deputy Business Unit Director at SRA International. In that role, she supported federal civilian agencies including the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Office of Personnel Management.
