Immediately prior to Berteau&#8217;s confirmation at the Pentagon, he worked at the Center for Strategic and International Studies for six years. He was at SAIC for nearly a decade. He spent about eight years as a consultant. And prior to this current stint, he spent a dozen years through the early 1990s as a senior defense department official, specializing in acquisition, logistics, personnel and budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So what are his priorities? I&#8217;ll speak to Berteau later this morning to find out more, but he points in a released statement to promoting an open and competitive federal marketplace, in which &#8220;government benefits from the best solutions that industry has to offer.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He of course comes in after quite a few changes at PSC. As I wrote when he announced his plans to step down in September, Soloway led a reinvention of sorts at PSC, managing growth while other trade\u00a0organizations in this market\u00a0shrank, buying up some competitors along the way, and striking a workable balance between advocacy and market education. He also expanded the purview of the organization, bringing technology companies into the fold after a nearly exclusive focus on services. PSC now touts nearly 400 member companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what does Soloway think of his successor? &#8220;He is a terrific choice,&#8221; he told me. \u00a0&#8220;A friend and colleague of many years, someone who brings\u00a0the kind of varied experience and perspectives that will serve him and PSC well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check back later this morning to see what Berteau has to say about the new role, and the transition out of government once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Berteau, assistant secretary of defense for logistics and materiel readiness, will step away from the Department of Defense March 28
