Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoe Berner is an independent consultant and mostly-retired business development and systems engineering leader with deep experience bridging technical solutions and government/maritime customers. With a background as a mathematician and an MS in Mechanical Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School, he has spent decades leading capture, strategy, and integration efforts for naval, maritime, and force protection programs at firms like Leidos, Booz Allen, and SAIC. He has overseen teams and portfolios spanning CBRNE, counter-UAS, biometrics/identity, and total ship systems engineering, often stepping into acting VP roles to scale operations and shape M&A-aligned BD strategies. Known for translating complex engineering trade-offs into winning proposals and program roadmaps, he combines rigorous analytic habits from his research days with practical delivery and capture instincts. Now based in Virginia and largely retired, he continues to advise select clients as an independent consultant, bringing rare institutional knowledge of Navy acquisition and maritime systems. An understated detail: his career began with applied finite-element research and co-authored technical papers, informing a lifelong preference for physics-based, systems-level problem solving.
