Join GAMA-1 in welcoming aboard our new Vice President of Operations, Dan Beall. “I have known Dan for almost 20 years throughout his success across the IT, satellite, ground systems, and the government contracting world. He will be a valuable asset for GAMA-1, providing the Directors, Program Managers, Task Leads, and employees with the expertise and guidance on government contract performance operations, customer relationship management, and future acquisitions”, remarked Gus Gamarra. “He has big shoes to fill, as Alesa Shelton vacates the spot for her new role as Chief Operating Officer, but I have no doubt he will be a success and add his unique flavor and talents to the role.”
