Brian Edwards, former principal of the federal business at Capgemini, has been appointed executive director of growth at Herndon, Virginia-based cybersecurity and management consulting company Avint.
The two-decade technology sector will lead capture and business development functions as Avint is aiming to help government clients modernize their cyber defense processes, the company said Tuesday.
“I am eager to introduce government leaders to the Avint experts and technology solutions that will help protect their operations and, ultimately, our nation,” said Edwards.
He previously oversaw business development, civilian sector and growth operations at VariQ, an information technology contractor acquired by Capgemini in 2021, and led pursuits of major contract vehicles such as the General Services Administration’s Alliant 2.
