Consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton announced on Monday that one of its senior technical leaders, Distinguished Engineer Gary Pomajevich, has relocated to Huntsville from Quantico, Virginia in order to continue his work supporting the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as it expands its presence on Redstone Arsenal.

This move underscores the firm’s commitment and partnership with the FBI to establish its new Huntsville campus as the world’s leading innovation hub for next-generation investigative and operational technologies.

During his 25 years with Booz Allen, Pomajevich has helped the firm to support major intelligence, national security, and law enforcement operations and has spent the majority of his career working behind the scenes as an embedded, onsite technical leader serving his clients and their missions.

Pomajevich was central to the stand-up and success of the FBI’s Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC), and his team supported its relocation to Redstone Arsenal in 2017 as one of the first major programs to transition to Huntsville.

“I’m looking forward to beginning a new chapter in my career with Booz Allen here in the Rocket City,” Pomajevich said. “Although I’ll be working in a new city, my focus and passion remains the same as it has for decades: to serve our clients and serve our employees. It’s especially rewarding to see the results help solve a case or stop a terrorist plot. In partnership, we have an opportunity to revolutionize how the FBI conducts its mission through innovation and bringing new capabilities quickly to the field.”

Carl Ghattas, a Booz Allen senior vice president and a leader within the firm’s Justice, Homeland Security, and Transportation division noted that Pomajevich’s relocation “demonstrates our commitment to bringing together the best and brightest talent to support FBI missions.”

Ghattas added that Pomajevich’s move to Huntsville is part of a larger-scale transition to the city.

“Booz Allen will be there as more programs transition down, with waves of professionals who transition their Booz Allen careers from the national capital region to Huntsville, as well as with dozens of targeted new hires from within the region. Booz Allen in Huntsville is a place where you can build a rewarding career; develop new, forward-leaning skills; and apply them to protect the American people from 21st century threats.”

Booz Allen Hamilton has operated local offices in Huntsville since 2003 and currently employs 175 people in the Huntsville area. In 2020, the firm opened a new 6,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Innovation center in the historic Stovehouse factory complex to support collaboration with clients and the community.
