Professional Journey

Lampton joined TIAG in 2005 as a director. The company was then a mid-sized government contractor in the Northern Virginia technology corridor. He became a general manager and then a vice president, and in those roles he managed information technology programs and contract operations at several federal agencies, among them the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Air Force Medical Operations Agency.

In July 2017 TIAG promoted him from vice president to chief operating officer, responsible for carrying out the business plan and for the company’s work with government and commercial clients. Umang Modi became chief strategy officer at the same time. Co-founder Dalita Harmon, then president and CEO, said the two promotions would provide continuity and keep the company’s strategic goals aligned.

He now holds the titles of President and Chief Operating Officer. His own biography describes the role as keeping external and internal operations coherent across the company, finding opportunities to expand its capabilities and streamline service delivery, and steering the initiatives, policies and procedures behind its growth. It also mentions developing employees’ skills and certifications. The company’s own site was unavailable during research, so the date he took the president title could not be confirmed.

Outside the company, he contributes to the Forbes Technology Council. His articles and panel contributions cover innovation culture, productivity, employee retention and cybersecurity, including a piece on what the Defense Department’s goal of zero trust by 2027 can teach other organizations.
