Her portfolio of 65+ programs encompass Business Systems, DoD-wide Enterprise Collaboration Services, Command and Control (C2), Mobility, and Enterprise Voice and Video Services.

Mrs. Bean joined federal service in 2002 as a student intern at DISA’s System Support Office in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. After a two-year assignment, she joined DISA’s Net-Centric Enterprise Services, an Acquisition Category (ACAT) I program.

implementing the enduring enterprise collaboration capability. Her portfolio included DISA’s enterprise software as a service (SaaS) cloud offering, Defense Enterprise Office Solution (DEOS), as well as the newly deployed commercially hosted collaboration suite, DoD365-Joint, that will service all Defense Agencies and DoD Field Activities (DAFAs) and Combatant Commands.

Throughout her DISA career, Mrs. Bean has been a proven leader, building coalitions with a significant focus on delivery. She served as the PM for user facing services such as Enterprise File Delivery, Enterprise Search, Enterprise Messaging, White Pages and Data Quality. Mrs. Bean also served as the PM for the first ever on-premises Cloud environment, milCloud 1.0, as well as DISA’s first fit-for-cloud offering, milCloud 2.0. In this role she directed the development and sustainment of mission critical enterprise services, leading the migration of on-premises legacy applications to the Cloud, and paving the way for the implementation of cloud-based solutions within the DOD.
