In an exciting development for OSC Edge, a recognized leader in engineered IT solutions for both defense and federal sectors, Michael "Mike" Ellerbe has been appointed as the new President. This announcement marks a significant step in OSC Edge's commitment to enhancing growth and innovation within the company.

Mike Ellerbe, a well-decorated Army veteran, brings more than 40 years of extensive experience in national defense, government technology, and enterprise business development to his new role. Previously, he served as the Chief Strategy Officer for NTT DATA Federal, where he outlined the company’s strategic growth plan for the next few years, spearheading a pipeline of high-value projects worth approximately $1.6 billion. His leadership was pivotal in achieving a remarkable 77% recompete win rate at NTT DATA, especially as he expanded the organization’s cybersecurity, data, and artificial intelligence capabilities across the federal landscape.

Ellerbe’s experience managing vital projects for the Department of Defense portfolio from 2009 to 2022 provided him with valuable insights into enterprise-level initiatives, overseeing operations for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Special Operations Command. Among his many achievements is a landmark transformation that he led for the Air Force, which involved successfully migrating the ILS-S logistics application to Cloud One, resulting in a substantial reduction of $25 million in annual hosting expenses while implementing fully automated, cloud-based deployment models.

A graduate of West Point and a retired U.S. Army officer, Ellerbe’s military career includes deployments to critical operations in Somalia, Haiti, and Kosovo and serves as a testament to his leadership capabilities in challenging environments. He holds multiple advanced degrees, including a Master of Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College, and has been honored with several accolades, including the prestigious Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star Medal.

His proven leadership and strategic vision are just what we need to scale our impact within defense and federal agencies. I’m eager for this next chapter and confident that under his guidance, OSC Edge will keep delivering innovation with integrity."

Ellerbe's appointment is expected to usher in a new era at OSC Edge, reinforcing the company's dedication to providing cutting-edge cyber, cloud, and IT infrastructure solutions aimed at supporting the missions of warfighters and federal enterprises.

OSC Edge, situated in Atlanta, Georgia, specializes in engineering IT solutions tailored for national security, particularly in cybersecurity and cloud technologies. The company has earned acknowledgments for its remarkable growth from various industry bodies, including the Inc. 5000 and Washington Technology, signifying its prominence in the federal IT landscape.
