My content at the Rapid Lorna – Agile Acquisition Blog is where progressive professional leaders—especially Acquisition/Contracting professionals—find actionable strategies, real-world insights, and ethical guidance for building resilient, high-performing teams and advancing their leadership impact with integrity.
You’ll also find all my LinkedIn articles and past blog posts collected into 2 ebook/audiobook sets. These will be serialized in a podcast in 2025. My two upcoming books will be serialized in this blog throughout the next year rather than published all at once, due primarily to the uncertainty of Federal Acquisition processes under a new administration.
With 31 years in DoD Acquisition as a Contracting Officer with an unlimited warrant, a stint as an independent rapid acquisition consultant, and 5 fulfilling years at MITRE, I’ve tackled everything from operational to specialized and production acquisitions. But quick reaction acquisition remains my true passion, and I’m devoted to serving the warfighter—especially Special Operators. My career has been defined by creative solutions and challenging bureaucracy to drive meaningful results.
Now retired, I’m focusing on writing full-time across a variety of genres and sharing my toolbox of proven contracting and leadership techniques with the next generation of acquirers. Stay tuned for two new books in 2025 that will pull together my best strategies for faster, smarter Federal contracting.
