Previously, Barrett was Senior Vice President of the Integrated
Defense Solutions Business Unit in the Cyber and Engineering Sector
for BigBear.ai, servicing the United States Air Force and
Department of Homeland Security. Earlier in his career, Barrett
served over two decades in the Marine Corps in the Intelligence
field as an analyst and Intelligence Officer. In Barrett’s 11 years
since retiring from the Marines, he has applied the leadership,
planning, and decision-making principles learned in both peacetime
and combat to achieve business objectives at Modus Operandi and
PCI, which BigBear.ai acquired in 2021. In less than three years at
PCI, he played a pivotal role in capturing new business,
quadrupling revenue and employee headcount, and servicing the
Department of Defense.
“Tony’s broad experience across the Defense and Intelligence
Communities, his unrivaled work ethic, and proven record of success
made him the obvious choice for this promotion to President of the
Cyber and Engineering Sector,” said Sam Gordy, President of the
Federal Market and Chief Operating Officer of BigBear.ai. “While
BigBear.ai continues to grow as a company, we are building a strong
roster of results-driven leaders who can advance our mission as
they earn the customer’s trust. Tony embodies these principles with
his infectious energy, data-driven approach, uncompromising
integrity, and uncanny ability to empower people to do their best
work. We’re excited to see the new heights Tony will achieve in
this role.”
“BigBear.ai’s Cyber and Engineering Sector is a critical
resource to the federal government as it increases adoption of
emerging technologies to solve complex problems,” said Barrett.
“Our cutting-edge services and solutions are game-changers,
revolutionizing the way data is analyzed and decisions are made in
extremely high-stakes environments. It’s a great honor to lead so
many talented people who are delivering incomparable value to our
customers. Above all, I am laser-focused on ensuring our Cyber and
Engineering division is an industry exemplar of innovation, service
delivery, and customer satisfaction.”
Nearly a quarter of BigBear.ai’s employees are military
veterans, including Barrett and Gordy. In addition to his daily
responsibilities, Barrett has spent years dedicating his time to
helping veterans transition more seamlessly from active duty to
civilian life. In 2020, he founded the Veteran’s Command Post, a
veteran-focused Employee Resource Group (ERG) at BigBear.ai. As the
group’s executive sponsor and chairperson, he guides charity
campaigns for veteran causes, informational sessions to help
veterans navigate complex government benefits systems, and
leadership programs to help veteran employees grow their skills and
career trajectory at BigBear.ai.
