Eric Velte
CTO, ASRC Federal
This year, Eric Velte took on an enterprise-wide realignment of the technology and capability teams that support ASRC Federal’s federal customers. This change reflected the critical role that technology and skilled capability teams play in ASRC Federal’s customer-centric operating model.
In partnership with senior leadership, Velte defined success but also identified and addressed crux issues that could impede progress. This effort resulted in three centers of excellence developed around core ASRC Federal competencies such as software, IT modernization and engineering that centralize staffing resources and support more than 23 key programs.
In addition to serving as a matrixed staffing capability for SMEs, these agile centers provide surge staff to meet new customer requirements without traditional hiring delays. They also promote employee career development and promote new technology uptake across customers.
Additionally, in June, Velte launched an internal tech summit which brought together technologists from across the company for training, technology briefings, use cases and success stories. Team members shared novel ideas, had access to senior leadership and aligned to company goals.
“Eric’s team offers cutting-edge technology capabilities, solutions and expertise to our entire customer base while also sharing deep technical knowledge in a way that is benefitting our customers and supporting employee and company growth,” said ASRC Federal President and CEO Jennifer Felix.
