Background

About Eileen Simoes

I turn complexity into clarity. As a federal Program Manager with over 15 years of experience, I lead large-scale, global initiatives that drive strategic impact, operational excellence, and organizational change. My work sits at the intersection of program delivery, policy, and people and balances mission priorities with risk, resources, and results. I currently lead a 16-person multi-disciplinary team, aligning program operations with internal strategies and external regulations. Whether overhauling a $1.3B+ counterterrorism vetting process across seven countries or managing enterprise-wide processes to engage a workforce, I bring a structured yet agile approach to program planning, execution, monitoring, and control. From establishing performance metrics to support a $2.1B investment in local organizations, to managing complex interagency policy development and leading enterprise-wide employee engagement strategies, I consistently drive measurable outcomes. I thrive in fast-paced environments where stakeholder engagement, data-driven decision-making, and cross-functional leadership are critical to success. I’ve also spearheaded high-level executive briefings, overseen internal policy governance with 150+ annual revisions, and guided workforce planning grounded in analytics and strategic foresight. Let’s connect if you’re looking for a leader who brings structure, momentum, and mission-aligned results in a mission-driven organization.
