In the opening months of CACI’s fiscal year 2026, Grant DeMola ushered in historic wins delivering more than $2.4 billion in new contract awards across the Digital Solutions market, an extraordinary start that underscores both execution discipline and market momentum.
Under his leadership as vice president and division manager of Digital Operations Management, the division continues to post double-digit year-over-year growth, while managing one of CACI’s most diverse and mission-critical portfolios.
DeMola’s leadership philosophy is anchored in the customer mission. He believes long-term success comes from listening closely to customer needs, delivering efficiency that creates measurable mission value, and building the right teams to execute with discipline and accountability. That customer-first focus has fostered trusted partnerships and consistent results across his portfolio.
DeMola leads a growing portfolio overseeing more than 30 active contracts across 14 federal agencies, empowering more than 1,400 technologists, software engineers, and mission experts to modernize some of the federal government’s most complex operational systems. His impact is affirmed by customers and partners across defense, civilian, and national security missions, who have recognized his performance and leadership trajectory through nomination honors such as Washington Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” and GovExec’s Federal 100.
In his role, DeMola has been instrumental in accelerating the modernization of government applications and business processes, bringing commercial best practices such as Agile software development, DevSecOps, cloud-native architectures, and data-driven automation into mission environments that demand reliability, security, and speed.
“By pairing CACI’s leading Agile Solution Factory capabilities with deep domain knowledge, we’ve earned the trust of our customers to modernize their most critical systems,” he said. “From supply chain operations and transportation management to financial and logistics processes across the Department of War, we deliver software-defined solutions that create transparency, confidence, and measurable results, when and where it matters most.”
Finding His Focus
DeMola began his career at TotalEnergies as a business systems analyst, supporting IT projects and systems integration for a global workforce. Working at enterprise scale early on gave him firsthand exposure to how technology, when applied well, can drive efficiency, consistency, and operational resilience across complex organizations.
He later transitioned into consulting at Title Alliance, where he led IT modernization and Six Sigma initiatives focused on improving analytics, reducing cycle times, and streamlining core business operations. The role sharpened his ability to connect data, process improvement, and technology execution to tangible business outcomes.
DeMola then spent 14 years at Accenture Federal Services, serving customers across civilian, defense, and public safety portfolios. During his tenure, he was recognized for deep technical expertise in IT strategy and held executive leadership roles spanning business development, capture strategy, program management, and end-to-end solution delivery, with a focus on ERP modernization, cloud transformation, and large-scale federal implementations.
Leadership in Action
Under DeMola’s leadership, execution has translated directly into measurable results. Since the start of fiscal year 2026, CACI has secured several high-impact awards, led by a $1.64 billion software contract with U.S. Transportation Command to deliver a unified, end-to-end transportation and financial management solution supporting the Joint Deployment and Distribution Enterprise. The program is designed to improve efficiency, auditability, visibility, and coordination across global transportation operations.
That momentum has continued across DeMola’s portfolio. Additional recent wins include a $417 million contract in support of Naval Sea Systems Command, a $245 million task order with Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic, and a $145 million award delivering specialized engineering and planning services to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
“Everything starts with the mission. Our role is to remove friction, align the right people and processes, and apply NextGen capabilities where they create real value – so our teams can deliver consistently, at scale, and in service of measurable outcomes,” DeMola said.
These wins reflect a deliberate shift from experimentation to execution. Over the past year, DeMola and his team have launched a series of AI-driven initiatives that unify intelligent automation, AI-powered enablement, and digital operations expertise. These capabilities are now being integrated across CACI and its customer base to modernize mission-critical business operations and accelerate time to value.
Looking ahead, DeMola’s organization is scaling what works. With sharpened focus on supply chain modernization, NextGen ERP and COTS integration, Agile-at-scale delivery, and AI-enabled cloud transformation, his teams are embedding these capabilities across multiple programs, enabling predictive logistics, automating legacy processes, and delivering real-time financial and operational intelligence.
“Across government, digital modernization has been discussed for years, but execution is where programs often stall,” DeMola said. “My teams focus on delivering what works, bringing proven solutions into real missions and driving them across the finish line. That’s how we create value for government agencies and the American taxpayer.”
“Grant’s leadership reflects the convergence of people, technology, and purpose,” said James Norcross, executive vice president of Digital and Enterprise Solutions at CACI. “He brings clarity to complex modernization challenges, and his ability to align innovation with mission outcomes is redefining how we deliver at scale.”
Foundations of Discipline and Growth
The discipline underpinning DeMola’s impact at CACI is grounded in both early structure and a sustained commitment to continuous learning. A native of Pennsylvania, he attended Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania on a baseball scholarship, earning a Bachelor of Science in business administration from the John L. Grove College of Business, concentrating in Management Information Systems and Information Management Analysis. Balancing the demands of collegiate athletics with a technically rigorous academic program helped shape the discipline, resilience, and team-first mindset that continue to define his leadership approach.
DeMola also earned his MBA from William & Mary Raymond A. Mason School of Business, strengthening his ability to bridge deep technical expertise with enterprise-level strategy and leadership. He views continuous learning as a practical imperative, maintaining certifications across Agile, AWS, Lean, Oracle, PMI, SAP, and solution architecture to stay ahead of rapidly evolving technology landscapes and mission demands. For DeMola, learning is inseparable from execution, an approach that ensures both he and his teams remain prepared to deliver at scale in high-stakes environments.
The Mission Continues
For DeMola, leadership has never been confined to the workplace. For nearly two decades, he has been committed to community service and volunteerism, reflecting the same sense of purpose, accountability, and empathy that defines his professional life.
Over the years, DeMola has coordinated food distribution efforts at local food shelters, helping families meet basic needs with dignity. He has also served since 2007 as the Area 26 Track and Field Coordinator for Special Olympics Virginia, creating opportunities for athletes with intellectual disabilities to compete, grow, and build meaningful connections through sport.
More recently, he joined the Board of Advisors at Camilla Hall, where he serves on the Finance and Advancement Committee supporting the Convent Home and Healthcare Center for the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
That same spirit of service shows up naturally in family life. Across every season, DeMola coaches baseball, softball, basketball, and soccer for his children, embracing youth sports as a fun way to build teamwork, resilience, and confidence.
“The lessons carry over seamlessly,” DeMola said. “Communicate clearly, invest in people, and celebrate the small wins. That philosophy applies just as much on a field or court as it does in leading complex programs at CACI.”
From his early days as a consultant to his current role driving enterprise-scale digital transformation, DeMola has consistently led with purpose and a people-first mindset. His blend of technical depth, collaborative leadership, and community commitment continues to shape outcomes at CACI, in the communities he serves, and in every team he’s fortunate enough to lead.
