DeEtte Gray

President of U.S. Operations, CACI

Since joining CACI seven years ago, DeEtte Gray has firmly established herself as a driving force behind the company’s successful execution of its growing national security business. Gray’s leadership has been pivotal, earning her several industry accolades—a testament to her steadfast commitment to excellence in serving the U.S. government.

In July 2024, Gray took on the critical role of President of U.S. Operations at CACI, reporting directly to the company’s President and CEO John Mengucci.

Here, she is positioned to lead government modernization, efficiency, and innovation across its seven markets — Enterprise IT, Digital Solutions, Mission and Engineering Support, Spectrum Superiority, Space, C3I, and Cyber. Of note, she leads three of the largest agile software development programs for the federal government and is making unparalleled strides in large-scale network modernization across seven programs of record. At the frontlines, her team is revolutionizing the battlefield with the latest electronic warfare technology under the U.S. Army’s Terrestrial Layer System-Brigade Combat Team (TLS BCT) Manpack award and the U.S. Navy’s Spectral contract.

For the Department of the Air Force, Gray oversees the Enterprise IT-as-a-Service (EITaaS) program supporting more than 800,000 airmen and guardians with modern IT service management systems.

Further strengthening the company’s credibility with customers, Gray manages CACI’s work on the Defense Agencies Initiative (DAI), where the company provides a single financial management enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Utilizing this system, the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) became the first military branch to receive a clean financial audit, which results in financial transparency and accountability within the defense community. Of the seven DoD agencies that utilize this system and are audited annually, six including USMC, have received clean financial audits and the seventh agency improved its rating in its initial year on the system.

Why Watch

In 2025, Gray is laser-focused on leveraging her position to advance CACI’s goal of delivering operational and programmatic excellence across all lines of business. She is committed to continuous improvement on delivery models and implementing best practices across the business to better serve CACI’s customers.

“As we navigate the complexities of today’s ever-changing landscape, CACI is uniquely positioned to lead the transformation of government operations,” she said.

“By leveraging agile development processes, open architectures, and software-defined and AI-driven solutions, we are delivering innovative capabilities that are more secure, efficient, and adaptable to rapidly changing mission requirements. I am proud to lead these areas of business in shaping the future and delivering meaningful, lasting change.”
