James (Jamie) Walton
McLean, VA
Developing innovative and world-class organizations and strategies in order to enhance business success is what Jamie does best. Working for over 20 years in various business arenas, as well as experience with building out and successfully running new lines of business, has given him the insights that the CXO level executives he has worked with have come to rely upon.
He has developed and executed growth strategies for commercial companies like CSC (resulting in over 20% CAGR), Delivery Today (a B2C technology startup grown to become an industry-leading e-commerce company) and most recently recruited to Alion Science & Technology to turn around and drive organic growth (13% increase in revenues last year).
As a retired West Point combat officer and former CIO for the Department of Defense organization responsible for counter-terrorism, US Special Forces and worldwide humanitarian and refugee affairs, he has also seen first hand the capabilities and shortfalls of the Public Sector processes, platforms, communications and information systems as well.
