Collaboration in Determining Value
We were founded in 2009 by our company’s principal Rich Leamon, upon his retirement from Motorola as Fellow of the Technical Staff. Rich was joined by our President and present owner Yvonne Lazear, following her retirement in late 2013 from Northrop Grumman as Pricing/Cost Estimating Manager. Both have extensive experience in space and communications programs at large and small companies serving both the commercial and government markets.
