HERNDON, Va., June 11, 2024 – Tyto Athene, LLC (“Tyto”), a federal systems integrator of mission-focused digital transformation solutions, announced the appointment of two C-level positions to focus on organic growth and operational excellence. John Coleman, Chief Operating Officer, and Michael Polmar, Chief Growth Officer, join the leadership team after Tyto’s recent acquisitions of Microtel and MindPoint Group.

As CGO, Polmar will be responsible for executing a business strategy that produces strong organic growth for Tyto. He brings over 30 years of demonstrated success in providing growth and operations leadership in the technology and government contracting industry. Polmar’s career highlights include his tenure at Vencore, where he served as the company’s senior business development leader, and at ManTech where he led business development for all its Department of Defense and State Department business.
