Amanda Brownfield, most recently president of Geospark Analytics, took the helm at the company as CEO and succeeded Omar Balkissoon
Geospark said Thursday Balkissoon, a past Wash100 awardee, transitioned to new roles as executive chairman of its board of directors and a strategic adviser to the Herndon, Virginia-based geospatial data analytics company.
âI’m at my best when I’m inspiring new ideas and pushing the technological envelope. Transitioning from start-up to scale-up requires a hardened set of skills, and Amanda has that in spades,â he said.
“This move comes at a natural time for me as I also look to support other emerging tech founders, developing the next generation of imaginative minds as part of Georgia Tech’s CREATE-X program.”
Brownfield joined Geospark in March from Engility where she worked as a senior vice president and as board chairman of Forfeiture Support Associates, formerly an Engility-AECOM joint venture and now jointly owned by Science Applications International Corp (NYSE: SAIC) Amentum.
