Dan Ostrosky, formerly of Banbury Private Capital, has been named Peraton’s senior vice president and chief procurement officer. He will report to Jim Winner, the company’s vice president and chief legal officer.

Ostrosky is expected to leverage 30 years of experience in manufacturing and supply chain operations to take on executive leadership for all aspects of the procurement organization, such as strategic sourcing and subcontractor management, the Herndon, Virginia-based company announced Tuesday.

Stu Shea, chairman, president and CEO of Peraton and a 2021 Wash100 winner, emphasized that as Peraton evolves and clientele for its mission capability integration and information technology services broadens, the procurement operation will be a crucial function.

Shea continued, commenting that Ostrosky’s prior successes in procurement strategy demonstrate how the department can be a “force multiplier” and sharing that he expects this will help Peraton achieve growth and financial progress.

At Banbury, Ostrosky was a strategic advisor, providing insight for investments in the aerospace, defense and industrial sectors. Before that, he was responsible for materials management, supplier development and all global material spend at Triumph Group, where he was corporate vice president and chief procurement officer.

Ostrosky also served as senior vice president of Aerospace & Defense business unit for supply chain solutions provider Flex, as well as vice president of global supply chain management for United Technologies.

His appointment comes after Brian Thompson was tapped for vice president and general manager of Peraton’s intelligence mission solutions unit in October 2021, and Mara Motherway was named senior vice president of government and customer relations at Peraton in September 2021.

The new hirings, such as Motherway’s, which is a newly created position, are primed to abet Peraton in its growth mission.

David Ferriero, the 10 archivist of the United States, will retire in April 2022 after 12 years of service at the National Archives and Records Administration.

In a blog post, Ferriero reflected on his accomplishments and achievements as an archivist while highlighting the persistent need for “thoughtful and deliberate progress and transformation” within the National Archives as the impetus for his departure.

“As I wrote to President Biden, it has been the honor of a lifetime to serve my country once more, this time to lead the Executive Branch agency charged with ensuring that the American people can hold their government accountable and learn from the past by accessing the records of our country,” Ferriero wrote.

Ferriero was confirmed as the tenth archivist of the United States on Nov. 6, 2009. During his tenure, he spearheaded multiple initiatives aimed at agency transformation, broader public access and engagement, security enhancement and more robust partnerships with traditional and new stakeholders.

Celebrating NARA’s modernization efforts, Ferriero said, “We have become a leader in the government’s transition to a digital future, electronic records management, and the principles of Open Government.”

He notably served as archivist during a period of new facility openings under NARA’s administration, including the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas, Texas and the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Ferriero also led the transition of the National Archives locations in New York and Denver to new facilities.

Prior to his post as archivist, Ferriero served as the Andrew W. Mellon director of the New York Public Libraries, where he was responsible for integrating four research libraries and 87 branch libraries into a central user service, resulting in the NYPL being recognized as the largest public library system in the country.

Deputy Archivist Debra Steidel Wall will serve as acting archivist until Ferriero’s successor is nominated by President Biden and confirmed by the Senate.

Drew Myklegard, most recently executive director of product engineering at the Department of Veterans Affairs, and Eileen Vidrine, chief data officer at the Department of the Air Force, have joined the Office of Management and Budget to take on new roles within the office of the federal chief information officer, GovCIO Media & Research reported Friday.

Myklegard will serve as associate deputy federal CIO and Vidrine will assume the role of senior strategic adviser for data.

Vidrine and Myklegard are “proven leaders in deploying modern technology that’s secure by design and delivers more seamless processes for the federal workforce so they can better serve the American people,” said Federal CIO Clare Martorana.

Martorana noted that Myklegard and Vidrine will help advance information technology modernization and data initiatives and carry out the priorities outlined in the President’s Management Agenda and executive orders on cybersecurity and customer experience.

Myklegard previously served as senior adviser to the CIO and director of platform and IT innovation at VA. He spent nearly a decade as an intelligence analyst within the Army National Guard and worked as an associate at Booz Allen Hamilton.

Vidrine held various roles at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, including assistant director of national intelligence for human capital and enterprise learning technologies program manager. She also worked at the Department of Defense and helped develop data management strategies in support of the Joint All Domain Command and Control and artificial intelligence initiatives.
