With more than 30 years working for the Fortune 500 global management consultant, Dotson leads Booz Allen Hamilton’s national security and global defense business. In 2022, Dotson succeeded Karen Dahut, who now serves as CEO of Google’s public sector organization.

Under Dotson’s leadership, Booz Allen has performed work for the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the IRS, military branches and other federal agencies. Dotson previously led Booz Allen’s National Security Sector teams and its Joint Combatant Command account, with a portfolio of clients throughout the Department of Defense.

In October 2022, Booz Allen increased its position in the growing national security market by acquiring EverWatch, a classified software and analytics developer. And in May, the company was awarded a $919 million research and development contract in support of several DoD agencies, including Army commands. Booz Allen also announced a partnership in 2022 with Armaments Research Company to demonstrate ARC’s 5G-powered weapons-sensing and data-sharing system in Booz Allen’s battlefield extended reality project for soldiers.

A University of Maryland graduate, Dotson was named this year to Executive Mosaic’s Wash100 list of top government contracting executives.
