Zach Parker said he’s proud of DLH’s transformation into a leading technology, engineering and scientific research solutions provider. Through disciplined execution of a long-term strategy, the company is beginning to see clear returns on its investments and enters 2026 well positioned to address customers’ future challenges.
DLH has a long history of developing solutions that help customers execute complex missions with greater speed, lower cost and increased precision. To support that mission, the company built a suite of competitive differentiators leveraging high-performance processing, AI and machine learning, digital sandboxes, data science and other advanced tools to make government operations more efficient and effective.
“Having worked alongside Zach for over a decade, I remain impressed by the commitment to growth, leadership, technology, and execution he brings each day,” said Kathryn JohnBull, DLH chief financial officer. “As his two-year term as President of the Professional Services Council Executive Board demonstrated, Zach is an innovative leader who continues to move both our company and our industry forward.”
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.”
