When Heller was named CEO of federal contractor Amentum in March 2022, he had just spent seven years directing growth strategy for Falls Church-based PAE, taking it from a $1.6 billion company to one valued at $2.76 billion. Amentum purchased PAE for $1.9 billion in cash in 2022 and moved its headquarters from Germantown, Maryland, to Chantilly in February.
With more than 44,000 employees worldwide, including 6,000 in Virginia, Amentum was founded as a spinout of AECOM’s Management Services Group in 2020, the same year Amentum purchased McLean private military contractor DynCorp International. In March, Amentum won a 15-year, $4.6 billion Air Force contract.
Heller graduated from West Point with a math degree and received an MBA from the University of Pittsburgh, where he serves on the Chancellor’s Global Advisory Council at Pitt. He actively supports the American Heart Association and was chairman for the 2014 Greater Washington Heart Walk.
