Booz Allen Hamilton announced that retired Army Lt. Gen. Scott Berrier has joined the firm as a senior vice president in its national security business.
In this role, Berrier will support and expand business growth and development across the firm’s federal clients with a focus on strategic direction for intelligence.
“The intelligence community is facing a clear set of mission challenges as the nation pivots to strategic competition, ranging from collection and analysis to evolving cybersecurity threats and the weaponization of space,” said Tom Pfeifer, president of Booz Allen’s national security business.
“Addressing these challenges requires not only innovative technologies to support accelerated decision making, but also people immersed in intelligence missions who understand how to integrate such solutions. Scott brings the leadership, mission understanding, and tradecraft necessary to support our clients in enhancing U.S. resilience and security now, and in the future.”
Berrier brings over 40 years of experience as a joint intelligence operations leader to the role. He most recently served as the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and before that, as a U.S. Army deputy chief of staff for intelligence. There, he stood up the Intelligence, Reconnaissance, and Surveillance task force and created the Army Counterintelligence Command.
Berrier also served as a general officer, leading Combatant Command and Sub-Unified Command Intelligence teams, and was commanding general of the U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca in Arizona.
“Booz Allen has been a trusted intelligence community partner for decades, playing a key role in applying emerging technologies to accelerate critical missions,” Berrier said.
“I’m looking forward to bringing my experiences to bear in support of new missions to create a more agile and resilient intelligence community.”
