Speaker Bio
Allen serves as the Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Atlantic Senior Scientific Technical Manager (SSTM) and Department Head for Enterprise Systems (ES). He serves as the technical decision authority and oversees execution of projects to ensure compliance with customer requirements, engineering standards, architectures and NIWC Atlantic Command, Department of the Navy (DON) and Department of Defense (DOD) policies. The ES Department delivers acquisition, architecture, and engineering services in support of the Naval Enterprise Networks (NEN) acquisition life cycle, and provides sustainment support for naval enterprise business solutions under Program Executive Offices (PEO) Manpower, Logistics and Business Solutions (MLB) and PEO Digital and Enterprise Services (DES) oversight. The department head also establishes the future direction of research and development based upon requirements provided by Chief of Naval Operations, Office of Naval Research, Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps, PEOs, portfolio managers, program managers, and other customers for cyber and IT.
Since 2018, Allen has been the program manager for Naval Applications and Business Services (NABS), formally known as Enterprise Systems and Services and Innovation Support Service (E2S and ISS) within PEO MLB. Their mission is to develop and implement business IT solutions that are reliable, innovative, efficient and secure. Allen led the merger of E2S and ISS with PM Applications to form NABS, the first Naval program office within PEO MLB. NABS’ diversified and broad portfolio included 23 programs, more than 38 stakeholders and spanned all of DOD from procurement and contract writing systems to logistics, personnel, data, recruiting, training, risk and medical records management, as well as deployment and force structure planning and execution. Since its inception, E2S & ISS has earned recognition for outstanding, innovative approaches, including Allen’s inclusion in the Fed 100, Federal Computer Week’s annual list of the top achievers in federal information technology.
Allen has more than 20 years of experience successfully leading DON and joint programs with demonstrated success implementing emerging technologies supporting tactical Navy networks, afloat logistics applications, new ship construction C4I integration, cloud computing, and mobile platforms. Allen’s presence in the National Capital Region embraces NIWC Atlantic’s hybrid workplace initiative, which provides better support of all aspects for the department, serve as an advocate for the organization, and enables closer teaming with stakeholders.
Allen graduated from the University of California, San Diego in 1996 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in mechanical engineering. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1998 with a Master’s of Science degree in mechanical engineering.
