Most recently, she was the Commissioner for the Federal Acquisition Service at the General Services Administration. As Commissioner, she led a federal organization of 3,500 people with an $18.8 billion budget generated from fees charged on more than $75 billion in acquisition solutions and shared services provided to federal agencies. Her federal agency service also includes the Department of Homeland Security as an Associate General Counsel for general law and the Department of Commerce as a Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary for Export Administration.

Julie has also served as professional staff on two congressional committees. Specifically, she served as Staff Director on the Government Operations Subcommittee of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, and as Senior Counsel on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. Her policy/legislative portfolio included federal acquisition, federal IT management, cybersecurity, security clearance reform, civil service, census, and federal records. She also conducted numerous government oversight projects, including major investigations of data breaches at a private sector entity and federal agency.

In addition to Julie’s government service, she has been in private practice in Washington, D.C. where she was a government contracts attorney. She also practiced in an international trade group. Her background and prior government service make her well placed to provide strategic and risk management advice on federal contract opportunities, particularly as such opportunities relate to federal IT, supply chain security, cybersecurity, and government management.
