Tom Koponen
Manager, Subcontracts – Energy, Intelligence, SI and EMS
With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in acquisition planning, solicitation development, and contract execution across diverse contract types. My work has contributed to key organizational initiatives, including introducing a “2-Step ITB” acquisition strategy that streamlined processes at the directorate level. Recognized as Subcontracts Manager of the Year in 2025, I continue to support cross-functional teams as an SET Chair and advisor, advancing procurement excellence through collaboration and innovative sourcing strategies.
I contribute to fostering leadership and organizational growth while pursuing a Master’s in Global Supply Chain Management. My expertise in contract management, A.I., emotional intelligence, and team-building underpins my mission to drive operational efficiency and strategic partnerships in complex procurement environments.
