OUR FOUNDERS

Pete Modigliani and Matt MacGregor are longtime acquisition professionals with over 50 years of experience in defense and intelligence community acquisition. We've worked in the trenches of program offices to the Pentagon at the Service and OSD headquarters levels.

We helped develop the Adaptive Acquisition Framework to include the Middle Tier of Acquisition and Software Acquisition Pathways. We've championed strategic reforms in defense acquisition, requirements, and budget processes. We've been a part of the Section 809 Panel, Atlantic Council Commissions on Defense Innovation Adoption and Software Defined Warfare, and the PPBE Reform Commission.

We've advised acquisition executives, PEOs, program managers, and defense industry executives on navigating and transforming the defense enterprise. We've also worked for War Unicorns — leading defense tech companies providing modern systems and services to the DoD.

Our focus is enabling acquisition professionals and industry to deliver superior warfighting solutions faster — integrating capabilities from multiple vendors into lethal kill webs that give the DoD a decisive advantage.
