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.
