The markets include the U.S. Army; the U.S. Postal Service; the Defense Information Systems Agency; the Internal Revenue Service, the departments of Labor, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services; and the FBI, according to his Linkedin profile. 

Heneghan handles one of the ECS’ biggest groups with close to 1,400 employees, making sure that the workforce is aligned, knowledgeable and capable to serve the customers’ requirements and help address their challenges. 

He is also in charge of helping government agencies in their IT modernization by providing the latest technologies and data analytics to reduce redundant processes and costs that stem from legacy systems.

During his six-year stint, he managed to grow the company’s DHS sector by over 25 percent year-on-year. He also broadened the portfolio to include cloud and managed services, software development, cybersecurity solutions and citizen services. During the said period, he helped the company land the DHS’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation contract and the CDM credentialing task order. 

Heneghan previously served as an executive vice president at SPS Consulting, where he directed the public sector, non-profit and commercial services operations of almost 20 contracts from 17 customers, including DHS, NASA, the Department of Justice, Montgomery County in Maryland and the Smithsonian Institution.

Earlier, he worked at Stanley Associates, which is now a part of CGI Federal, serving as director for corporate development for nine years, heading the business development operations and securing vital government contracts.

A former systems engineer at The Washington Post, Heneghan earned his bachelor’s degree in speech and English education from the University of Maryland.
