Why Watch
In 2026, Parker and his team are focused on scaling DLH Cyclone, an AI and machine learning-powered data science engine designed to help customers unlock the full value of their data. DLH Cyclone accelerates the conversion of data into actionable intelligence, generating visualizations, after-action reports and other decision-support outputs at lower cost than many existing government systems and commercial platforms.
“I remain indebted to our world-class workforce,” he said. “Our researchers, engineers, technologists, and other professionals continually demonstrate their expertise, passion, persistence, and work ethic, allowing our company to thrive.”
