Summary
Gregory Sanders is a policy analyst and data-driven researcher with 11 years of experience applying quantitative methods to defense acquisition, security cooperation, and industrial policy. He builds datasets, reproducible research repositories, and visualization tools that clarify trade-offs for decision-makers and has consolidated millions of rows of contracting and budgetary data into SQL-backed analyses. At CSIS he led research programs, supervised multi-year grant proposals exceeding $1M, and created procedural charting in R to power public-facing micro-sites. Now at the Joint Production Accelerator Cell, he brings practical experience turning complex procurement and sustainment challenges into actionable governance insights. An advocate for mass transit and vice president of Purple Line Now, he leverages international comparisons to drive cost and quality improvements—a recurring, non-obvious thread that connects his policy work to civic engagement.
