An Advocate for Commercial Best Practices
09 Mar 2007
After six months on the job, David Hadsell, vice president of sales and business development for EDS’ U.S. government services division, is managing a portfolio that includes numerous federal civilian agencies, the Defense Department, the intelligence community, state and local governments, and several nonprofit organizations that do business with the government. Hadsell said he approaches the new job with a clear purpose: to bring the best commercial business practices into the business of government.
Tight federal budgets could make the EDS executive’s job more challenging. “It is incumbent on industry to find ways to help our clients get more for the dollars they have,” he said. “If you’re not going to get any more money, then you have to figure out how to do better with what you have.”
