Ray DeMeo’s biggest recent achievement is shaping the business and advancing the message of GrammaTech’s ability to both secure and modernize critical software and cyber-physical systems.
“We are now seeing this take root in customer engagement, strategic teaming agreements, and new contract wins,” he said.
GrammaTech is also encouraged by the current administration’s priorities to reduce cost, streamline operations and improve government efficiency.
GrammaTech meets the definition of a small, agile and innovative business that aligns with the new DOD mandate to procure software through Software Acquisition Pathway and flexible contracting tools. A recent DOD memo highlights that outdated, bureaucratic processes slowed the delivery of cutting-edge software, leaving critical department systems vulnerable. GrammaTech sees this firsthand and is highly supportive of the change.
“Our industry is at a strategic inflection point as defined by the legendary Andy Grove,” DeMeo said. “It’s a time when business fundamentals are about to change, presenting opportunity to rise to new heights for those who can recognize and adapt. Our amazing GrammaTech team is ready. We’ve always been ready. And now, the system is finally catching up.”
Why Watch
In 2025, DeMeo and his team are deeply focused on enabling organizations to deliver secure code faster and at lower cost, applying technology developed with DOD use cases as a priority. This goes hand-in-hand with GrammaTech’s capabilities to enable secure-by-design DevSec pipelines for edge-cloud environments that are essential to hosting AI compute and cyber-physical systems.
Fun Fact: DeMeo considers himself lucky to be one of seven kids raised in a close-knit family. He credits his parents with instilling lessons of self-reliance, hustle, perseverance and a positive attitude—qualities that have made all the difference in his life.
