Darlene has demonstrated her expertise in acquisition lifecycle management and program oversight through her work on high-stakes international projects. She provided end-to-end acquisition lifecycle support, which included detailed requirements development and meticulous program management, for unmanned aerial systems and complex construction projects across six countries. These projects involved the construction of military camps and training facilities, where Darlene ensured that every phase—from initial planning to execution—met the highest standards of quality and compliance.
Her leadership extended to a critical project in Tanzania, Africa, where she was instrumental in developing, creating, and implementing a comprehensive Performance Work Statement and contract for the construction of a telecommunications network system in a national park. This project required not only technical acumen but also a deep understanding of local and international regulations, environmental considerations, and stakeholder coordination.
In addition to her strategic role, Darlene took an active, on-the-ground approach by conducting both pre-award and post-award site visits in Tanzania on behalf of the government in 2017 and 2018. These site visits were crucial for ensuring that the project's execution aligned with the contractual agreements and that all performance standards were met. Her hands-on involvement and rigorous attention to detail were key factors in the successful delivery of these complex, multinational initiatives.
