Previously, Barrett was Senior Vice President of the Integrated Defense Solutions Business Unit in the Cyber and Engineering Sector for BigBear.ai, servicing the United States Air Force and Department of Homeland Security. Earlier in his career, Barrett served over two decades in the Marine Corps in the Intelligence field as an analyst and Intelligence Officer. In Barrett’s 11 years since retiring from the Marines, he has applied the leadership, planning, and decision-making principles learned in both peacetime and combat to achieve business objectives at Modus Operandi and PCI, which BigBear.ai acquired in 2021. In less than three years at PCI, he played a pivotal role in capturing new business, quadrupling revenue and employee headcount, and servicing the Department of Defense.

“Tony’s broad experience across the Defense and Intelligence Communities, his unrivaled work ethic, and proven record of success made him the obvious choice for this promotion to President of the Cyber and Engineering Sector,” said Sam Gordy, President of the Federal Market and Chief Operating Officer of BigBear.ai. “While BigBear.ai continues to grow as a company, we are building a strong roster of results-driven leaders who can advance our mission as they earn the customer’s trust.
