Nathaniel Palmer’s Experience
-
Principal & Chief BPM Strategist
SRA International
(Public Company; SRX; Information Technology and Services industry)
September 2008 — Present (1 year 4 months)
I am pleased to announce I have joined SRA International. Not being an employee for years now, and never thinking I would again, I’m as surprised as anyone. Yet after collaborating with the team here for the last year, I found SRA to be the most compelling organizational I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. The commitment to excellence is extraordinary, as the quality and background of my peers. I am awe struck by the SRA team, where they come from and what they are doing. SRA strives to be best-in-class across every line of business. To me there is no question we will realize that goal in BPM. As for Transformation+Innovation, it will continue delivering high-value research, training and conferences. I will no longer be part of the day-to-day operation, but will still contribute to its on-going success. Yet I couldn't be more pleased with the people and opportunities here. Drop me a note if SRA sounds exciting to you too. We're hiring!
