Paul Puckett, Director of Army’s Enterprise Cloud Management Office

Paul Puckett is the current director of the Army’s Enterprise Cloud Management Office, the service’s centralized enterprise-wide resource dedicated to facilitating efficient cloud migrations.  

The role puts Puckett at the forefront of leveraging cloud services and resources to provide the Army with actionable information. 

Since taking on the role in November 2019, Puckett has also been responsible for guiding the ECMO in helping the Army achieve full systems convergence in line with the service’s multi-domain operations concept, which seeks to link systems, including sensors and any command and control node, across all domains, the Army said.  

Puckett joined the Army after holding executive positions in both the private and government sectors, where he led large cloud migrations and delved into architecture development and security efforts related to the cloud environment. 

Most recently, he spent over a year and half at cloud and software services company Pivotal Software as the chief technology officer of its federal business. He also dedicated nearly six years at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, serving the roles of core IT director and branch chief for expeditionary support. 

Earlier in his career, Puckett worked as a system engineer and for NetCentrics and CACI International.

Puckett earned his bachelor’s degree in science from Liberty University and his master’s degree in systems engineering from George Washington University.
