About Us
Empowering Defense and Industry Professionals
Creative Defense Network is a Public Benefit Corporation founded by two of the architects of modern defense acquisition reform. Our mission is to enable the Department of War to deliver better warfighting capabilities faster — integrating the best capabilities from across the defense industrial base into lethal, composable kill webs. We work with program offices, acquisition executives, and industry partners who need to move at the speed of the threat.
Meet The Team
Pete Modigliani and Matt MacGregor are longtime acquisition professionals with over 50 years experience in defense (and IC) acquisition. We’ve worked in 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 DoW.
Our focus is enabling acquisition professionals and industry to deliver superior warfighting solutions faster - integrating multi-vendor systems into lethal kill webs that give the DoW a decisive advantage.
