Technology solutions provider Octo has hired Stephen Iwicki as growth vice president for the Defense Department and Jennifer Rhea as growth senior director for federal civilian accounts.
Iwicki will draw on his background in intelligence, information technology, strategic planning, business development and project management to broaden Octo’s offerings to DOD and the U.S. intelligence community. Rhea will be responsible for widening Octo’s federal civilian portfolio.
“Octo has been fortunate to work with DoD and federal civilian customers for over a decade,” said Octo Vice President of Growth Evelyn Avanesian. “The addition of Stephen and Jennifer means Octo is building on existing relationships and developing new ones as we continue to offer excellence and innovation to the Federal Government.”
A retired U.S. Army intelligence officer, Iwicki has managed his own consulting company and served as senior vice president for the Intelligence Solutions Group at SOS International. Rhea previously served as senior director and capture manager at RIVA Solutions, where she won over $200 million with more than 10 agencies in less than three years.
“We are pleased to have Stephen and Jennifer on board at Octo,” said Jay Shah, Octo chief operating officer. “They both have exceptional records of service, as well as undeniable expertise that align perfectly with Octo’s growth potential and goals.”
