Jason McCleish
Jason has spent his career devoted to the development and execution of game-changing IT systems, engineering leadership, infrastructure engineering, and operations initiatives that drive equity-building revenue growth while reducing and optimizing operational and IT expenses. He has managed all classified global enterprise architecture, including IT strategy, software, operations, planning, research, cybersecurity, and infrastructure for the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Mr. McCleish has also supervised information management (including Top Secret) and exchanged and maintained access control over internal/external entities. He has provided oversight for Classified IT Enterprise Operations Architecture and aligns business, warfighting, and intelligence support. The following are a few benchmark examples of his performance:
Cloud & Software Engineering, Cybersecurity, & Government Affairs
Jason was recruited by a client to build a team and develop two new Azure clouds to support the DoD and other federal agencies at the highest classified levels. Planned strategies for each cloud over 120 days and hired an engineering team. Functioned as Program Manager with full engagement in all facets of development, ensured full compliance with security clearance, and navigated issues with air-gapped cloud requirements. This led to a second $7.6B contract for Office 365 services and additional contracts worth ~$50B for the following ten years.
Enterprise Infrastructure
Jason and his team were called upon by a client to migrate the Top-Secret Google Earth repository platform to the Intelligence Community (IC) Secure Cloud. Navigated an entrenched legacy stance believing Cloud was unsecure to lead the effort in concert with 16 IC partners to ensure adherence to security controls. Worked with engineering and cyber security teams to manage hundreds of Petabytes of data. Achieved a common, scalable, virtualized cloud repository with redundancy at a fraction of previous costs. This was duplicated across the Intel Community.
