Executive Vice President

Dr. Gary Mather is a McLean-based Executive Vice President who leads Booz Allen Hamilton’s work for U.S. Army clients.  His key areas of expertise include:

• Electronics
• Systems Engineering
• Army-related Technology
• Competitive Methods

Dr. Mather’s other roles at Booz Allen have included President of the Worldwide Technology business, member of the firm’s Board of Directors, and Chairman of the Board’s Finance Committee.  He also chaired Booz Allen’s Critical Strategic Initiatives committee.

Dr. Mather's primary client areas of focus are the Communications and Electronics Command in Eatontown, New Jersey; the Chemical & Biological Defense and the Test & Evaluation Communities in Aberdeen, Maryland; the National Capital Region, Training and Doctrine Command; and the Missile Defense Agency in Huntsville, Alabama.  He also chairs the firm's Client Service Officer (CSO) forum, which was established to facilitate collaboration among all CSOs.

Prior to assuming responsibility for Booz Allen’s Army client work, Dr. Mather led the firm’s work for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).  He was the officer in charge of a highly successful program to restructure the space station program to be consistent with congressionally mandated constraints.  His team focused on the details of primary program process flows as well as primary cost drivers linked to achieving specific performance requirements.

Other client assignments led by Dr. Mather include systems engineering work conducted in support of the NASA Consolidated Space Operations Program.  Booz Allen was the primary contributor to the development of the evolving systems architecture using a proprietary tool-set for efficiently making tradeoffs among various design and operational parameters. 

Dr. Mather also led an Internal Revenue Service Agency-wide transformation engagement for the Commissioner.  The assignment began with a front-end strategic analysis to transform the agency into four strategic business units focused on the needs of individual taxpayers.  Twelve design and implementation teams were formed with joint Booz Allen and IRS team members.  Booz Allen supported the development of completely new processes for each unit, enabling technology and integration across agency-wide services.  The new structure is now fully operational involving some 100,000 IRS personnel, 10 data processing centers, and the national networking architecture.
 
Dr. Mather holds a Ph.D. from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, an E.E. and an M.S. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a B.E.E. from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
