Background

About David Writer

I am a Contracts and Operations Executive with over 20 years’ experience in aerospace and defense, providing a rich mix of cross-functional team leadership, strategy, and oversight. I have led multibillion-dollar aerospace and DoD programs for launch services, space/satellite systems, and major weapons systems, while successfully generating over $14B in new company revenue, with ownership of portfolios over $450M, annual bookings over $150M, and increasing company EBITDA by >10%. As a leader, I focus on relationships, open communication, transparency and trust, while focusing my efforts to help others achieve their professional growth while exceeding company objectives. These efforts have resulted in improved company culture, the promotion of multiple staff members, and the growth and development of future leaders. As the corporate head of Contracts and Compliance at Poarch Creek Indians Federal Services, my expertise has been integral to our strategic contract negotiations. With a strong background in both corporate and Government sectors, I specialize in navigating complex regulatory environments and ensuring organizational adherence to all compliance standards. At Mercury Systems, I utilized my skills in financial modeling, contracting and risk analysis, contributing to robust contract management and proposal auditing processes. My DAWIA Contracting certification is a testament to a deep understanding of defense acquisition, which I leverage to align contract strategies with business goals, fostering sustainable growth and operational excellence.
