About the Presenter:
Renee joined INCOSE in 2006. She has over 14 years of leadership at the International, Regional, and Chapter levels. She has been the INCOSE Americas Sector Director since January 2022. Her term's focus has been to help chapters understand and utilize INCOSE resources, products, and services.
Renee is a Senior Systems Engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton. She is currently working with the U.S. Space Force Spectrum Warfare Analysis Center (SWAC) to identify, analyze, and recommend technologies for development to improve supporting the warfighter of the future. Her background of 40 years in the Aerospace business includes satellite orbital analysis, space operations, ground system development, satellite communication protocols, and applying that knowledge to the development of future space system architectures. She has provided multiple inputs on proposals, specifically, Systems Engineering Management Plans, and Model Based Systems Engineering processes, using both ISO 15288 and the SE Handbook as sources for standardization. Her Booz Allen tenure (since 1989) has provided opportunities that encompass supporting Air Force Launch Vehicle systems, Military Communications, NASA satellite communications, AF Satellite Control Network, and the National Space Defense Center. Her systems engineering expertise includes: Architecture Development, Requirements Analysis, Test and Evaluation, Risk Management, Cost Analysis, Schedule Development, Systems Integration, Quality Assurance, Configuration Management, Data Management, and Technical Planning. Renee became a Certified Systems Engineering Professional (2010), then an Expert Systems Engineering Professional (ESEP) in 2022. In addition to INCOSE volunteer activities, she was a member of the Cheyenne Mountain School District Board of Education. She served for 8 years on the board in Colorado Springs, focusing on policy and curriculum to enhance the high-achieving district. Renee was the Assistant Project Manager for the 2010 INCOSE International Symposium, hosted in Denver, CO. The effort required two years of planning, working with INCOSE Leadership, Tech Ops, and KMD. As a result, the Colorado Front Range Chapter received significant shares of the Symposium proceeds that year, which has continued to benefit the chapter to support its members.
