Booz Allen Charlottesville: Where Security and Skill Meet

What brings talented people to Charlottesville, Virginia? Some might say it's the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, flourishing outdoor and sporting communities, or live music and entertainment scene. For the Booz Allen team in Charlottesville, it’s the chance to empower real change.

“What we do directly impacts the warfighter by giving them a competitive advantage on the battlefield,” says John Boehnke, our Army business lead in Charlottesville.

Here’s how our Charlottesville team members use their technical expertise to make meaningful impact.

“The cybersecurity work here is cool and unique,” says Brock Napierkowski, a senior lead engineer. “We work to outpace adversaries in the digital battlespace and stay ahead of them in a growing cyber arena.”

Recruiter Tim Kaiser agrees. “We’re not only intel analysts,” he says. “We support all mission-critical aspects for our clients, whether that’s reverse engineering of physical systems, research and analysis on emerging and disruptive technologies and foreign cyber threats, data science, or cloud computing services for our partners.”

Another motivator in Charlottesville? We’re known for our intelligence experts and the ways we support them as they develop their careers. “I consistently broaden my knowledge and experience of digital systems and intelligence analysis techniques here,” says Brock. “It’s never boring—there are always more interesting projects to do, and Booz Allen helps me build my network across the entire intelligence community.”

Our work in Charlottesville spans across other areas, too. Our data scientists and cloud experts work on large missions that also impact intelligence.

Program Manager Richard Reynolds and his team create numerous interactive data sets that make processing large bodies of data much more efficient. “We also leverage expertise from across the firm to create models that our client uses to manipulate mass data to test their intelligence questions,” says Richard.

Our team also delivers the cloud services used by the Army’s military intelligence programs. “We’ve recently expanded that successful capability to the rest of the Army,” explains Lance Holland, a senior lead technologist. “We have enabled their tenant programs to modernize their mission information technology capabilities rapidly, efficiently, and securely across unclassified and classified networks with secure, extensible, and high-availability infrastructure.”

Ultimately, it’s our mission that unites the Charlottesville team. “The work we're doing here is fascinating and of paramount importance to national security,” says Tim.

John agrees. “We provide situational awareness and predictive intelligence to national-level policymakers, operational planners, and deployed tactical units worldwide,” he says. “Our work has a real impact on the intelligence community and beyond: That’s the biggest reason to come here.”
