Background

About Christopher McDermott

I’m a mission-driven executive who thrives in a fast-paced environment, where strategy meets execution. For the last 6 years in a nearly 20 year career in federal service, I’ve led one of the federal government’s most expansive data-sharing ecosystems — managing agreements across international, federal, state, research, and financial services partners — while aligning stakeholders, securing satisfying outcomes, and modernizing operations with technology-forward solutions. I’ve served as the executive sponsor for major IT and policy initiatives, driven high-stakes negotiations, and built partnerships that have real-world impact: preventing fraud, enabling service delivery, and transforming legacy systems. What I bring to the private sector: a proven ability to unify complex environments, drive measurable results, and deliver innovative solutions under intense regulatory, political, and technical constraints. Now open to executive roles in strategy, partnerships, consulting, or operations — where integrity, diplomacy, and results are paramount. Let’s connect if you’re building partnerships, transforming operations, or launching initiatives that need a leader who can get people together to do the right things and move them forward.
