"His experience and knowledge will allow him to play a key role in expanding our portfolio of business in human capital and management consulting."
"Having extensive executive and leadership experience across defense and civilian agencies makes Jeff a perfect addition to ICF's team," said Ellen Glover, executive vice president for ICF International.
