DHA Group Names Jeffrey T. Edgell as Chief Technologist

WASHINGTON, April 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DHA Group, Inc. (www.dha-inc.com), an award-winning management consulting and contracting firm serving the federal government, announced today the promotion of Jeffrey T. Edgell to the position of Chief Technologist. In this dual-facing role, Edgell will not only expand DHA Group's external reputation as a trusted partner and technology thought leader, but also position DHA Group for future success by adding to its internal technology portfolio by trademarking company-unique methodologies, publishing white papers, assembling staff with advanced knowledge and skills, and guiding the firm toward new technology-related business ventures.

Edgell joined DHA Group in May 2011 as a Program Manager on key defense and civilian contracts, a role he will continue to fulfill in addition to his Chief Technologist duties. Previously, he served as an Executive Director at ManTech International, Vice President of Technology at Marada Corporation and Project Leader/Software Engineer at Bell Communications Research. Edgell is a prolific author and sought-after speaker, addressing such prestigious groups as the Society for Logistics Engineers, South Korean Ministry of Defense, Australian Ministry of Defense and Navy Logistics Integration Conference. He also has lectured at Carnegie Mellon, West Virginia University and West Virginia Wesleyan College.

In commenting on his promotion, Mr. Edgell shared, "DHA Group is an agile, responsive, customer-focused organization geared toward excellence. The company sets the bar at a very high level in everything it does. While currently better known as a premier professional services provider, I want everyone to recognize DHA Group as the best technical solutions and services provider in the federal marketplace, offering not just unique solutions but also strategic direction when it comes to mission accomplishment in a dynamic environment."

David Hale, CEO and President, DHA Group, said, "No one understands technology the way Jeff does, or has the overall vision to guide technology-related decision making for the federal customers we serve. His track record of success in modernizing critical government information systems, protecting them from threats of every kind and assuring greater interoperability is impeccable. It therefore was a natural step to leverage his skills internally to align our company's technology vision with its business strategy. I am confident that Jeff is the right individual to establish DHA Group as a technology leader in both spheres."
