Raj Kanodia liked thisRaj Kanodia liked this🎉 Exciting news from Tria Federal: Diana Ceban has been promoted to Chief Growth Officer. In this new role, Diana will lead Tria's enterprise growth strategy, business development, and client and partner relationships, and market expansion across the company. Her promotion reflects the clarity that Tria's focus on the healthcare trilemma—the competing pressures of cost, quality, and access to care—has brought to the company's growth strategy. 📢 Says Diana: "Growth in federal health isn't about chasing the next contract. It's about understanding the whole operating system deeply enough to know where meaningful gains are possible in order to further the missions we support." 🔗https://lnkd.in/ejv33bNv Tim Borchert Brian Wagner, MBA Sean Vineyard Ray Khuo Atchut Kanthamani #PoweringPossible #Leadership #FederalHealth #GrowthStrategy

Attracting leaders of this caliber reflects the strength of the By Light team and its commitment to serving the Defense and National Security community. We're proud to support this team as they continue their focus on getting leading-edge capability into the hands of the warfighter!Raj Kanodia liked thisBy Light is pleased to welcome Lieutenant General (Ret.) Milford H. “Beags” Beagle Jr. to our Advisory Board. Beags brings 35 years of U.S. Army leadership and operational experience, including command of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth, the 10th Mountain Division and Fort Drum, and the U.S. Army Training Center and Fort Jackson. Throughout his career, he worked at the intersection of training, doctrine, leader development, readiness, and modernization, helping Soldiers, leaders and formations prepare for demanding and rapidly changing operating environments. As an advisor to By Light, Beags will help inform our strategy for Modeling, Simulation & Training and the integration of technologies including live, virtual, and synthetic training; AI; computer vision; and data-driven performance assessment. “The character of warfare is changing rapidly, and the way we prepare Soldiers must change with it. Technology alone is not enough. Training has to replicate the complexity, speed, and uncertainty Soldiers and leaders will face in combat while giving them the ability to assess performance, learn, and adapt.” We’re proud to have his experience and perspective on the team as we continue developing training capabilities that help Warfighters prepare for what comes next.

Am seeing that in the numbers that Titan has been posting in recent years. Extremely happy at Sauce that we found partners in Rachit and Saurabh who share the vision at Bruno Milano. They want to offer a new age and digitally rooted challenge to the enviable monopoly that Titan enjoys, that too at extremely affordable pricing playing across the India one and Bharat consumer. Try their watches, been a user for a while, great quality and value guaranteed! https://lnkd.in/gZq-D2RV Padma MilhotraSauce VC leads Rs 7.5 Cr round in D2C watch brand Bruno MilanoSauce VC leads Rs 7.5 Cr round in D2C watch brand Bruno Milano

Raj Kanodia liked thisMost people in the Modelling, Simulation and Training industry know Rob "Hammerhead" Epstein from his time in uniform and from his time at Leidos. I first met him when he was the commander of Air Force Agency for Modeling & Simulation (AFAMS) and was always amazed how he was able to translate mission/strategy to technology and operations so that we could all understand it, and as important get people excited and working together across gov and industry. We were so pleased when he agreed to join our team at Sabel Systems to lead strategy for our United States Department of the Air Force portfolio. But because of his capabilities, experience and spirit he has also assumed responsibility for leading our solutions team as well. The digital engineering and MS&T industries are converging at many levels and Rob is a perfect representative of both industries to help us align mission, technology and people!
