He was part of the founding management team of Salient Federal Solutions, where he served as COO. He was instrumental in building the company from its founding to $235M in revenue and on to its merger with CRGT. Mr. Parker was also COO of NCI Information Systems. He came to NCI through its acquisition of Karta Technologies, Inc., where he served as President. Before joining Karta, he was President of Pinkerton Computer Consultants, Government Solutions, until its sale to Kforce, where he served as President of Government Solutions. Mr. Parker left government contracting for 3 years to serve as CEO of Crosswalk.com, a publicly traded company (NASDAQ\/national market). His experience in government contracting was grounded in his 16 years at CACI, where he advanced from Senior Associate to Executive Vice President. As EVP, he led the Information Technology Business Group and also served as EVP of Business Development.
