Mr. Owlett has had only two jobs in his more than 25 year professional career. His first position was with Computer Sciences Corporation where he rose as an entry level new grad working on analytical and simulation modeling of voice and data networks to the staff of the Systems Division president working on major new business initiatives. Subsequently, he joined PEC Solutions (then Performance Engineering Corporation) as a Business Area Manager. The company grew dramatically as its business switched from acquisition support consulting to a top 50 Federal systems integration and solutions provider. Mr. Owlett had increasing levels of responsibility rising from Vice President of the Development Division to Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Civilian Government Solutions Operation. He was part of the senior executive leadership team when the company went public. He excels in software development, systems and network design, as well as systems integration. He led organizations that became CMM and CMMI certified. In 2004, Mr. Owlett was named Chief Technology Officer and took on IT internal controls addressing the company’s Sarbanes Oxley requirements. Working closely with the internal IT, F&A, and internal and external audit staff, he revised, created, implemented and enforced IT policies and procedures successfully leading PEC Solutions IT through the tumult of being an early filer.
In 2005, PEC Solutions was acquired by Nortel Networks and merged with Nortel Federal Systems Inc. Mr. Owlett was named the Chief Information Officer of the new company. He led the retooling of NGS’ IT infrastructure and financial systems a project which took close to a year from start to finish. Nortel Government Solutions’ new converged network infrastructure is based entirely upon Nortel products. The infrastructure is comprised of Nortel routers, switches, firewalls, and threat protection systems. NGS boasts a Nortel network management system, VoIP phone system, call center, voice mail system, wireless LAN and wireless mesh networks. NGS also has a Nortel Multimedia Communications System providing integrated data, voice, and video communications and application services. In parallel with the IT improvements, Mr. Owlett worked closely with the F&A and other corporate staff as they worked to streamline their processes and systems. He was the technical lead for NGS’s Project Unity resulting in a single integrated Deltek based financial management system. He has subsequently evaluated, acquired, and now operates a business intelligence, earned value management, and web based collaboration systems in support of program management and new business development.
In addition to being responsible for NGS’ IT, Mr. Owlett also manages the company’s Facilities organization and real estate. As a member of the NGS’ CEO’s cabinet, he continues to support the mission of the corporation. |
