Vikram Manikonda, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience in the government contracting industry, has been appointed chief technology officer of BlueHalo, effective Jan. 1.
BlueHalo said Wednesday Manikonda spent more than two decades at the company’s technology innovation subsidiary Intelligent Automation Inc., where he most recently served as CEO and president and previously held other operational roles responsible for leading technology efforts across areas such as robotics, artificial intelligence and machine learning and data analytics.
