With nearly five decades of professional experience, Dr. Prueitt has excelled in operations research, capital budgeting, fleet replacement strategy, decision analysis, executive-level consulting, and technical research. Since 2018, he has served as president, senior analyst, and lead consultant at Prueitt Consulting LLC and holds advisory roles with Trident Technologies and DHPC Technologies Inc. His responsibilities include supporting program managers in liaising with vendors like Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems, and Northrop Grumman, developing materials and equipment, and providing strategic advice to the government. He also manages project timelines and addresses delays caused by budget constraints. He also worked as a subject matter expert at Credence Management Solutions LLC from 2016 to 2021, senior vice president and partner at Intuitive Research and Technology Corporation from 2014 to 2018, and president of CAS Group, Wyle Incorporated, from 1997 to 2014. Prior to these accomplishments, he served in the U.S. Army for 20 years, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1997.
Dr. Prueitt’s most notable achievement is his role as a government consultant, where his analyses have influenced decisions valued at approximately $42 billion. His impact extends to key programs like the Black Hawk helicopter, the Patriot missile, and other combat systems. In 1998, he conducted a comprehensive analysis of the Army’s Black Hawk helicopter program, evaluating its current state, exploring new technologies, and devising a plan to phase out the old management system. This program is significant, given the 20 to 25-year cycle to recycle a fleet of about 2,200 Black Hawk helicopters in the U.S. Department of Defense. In light of his impressive undertakings, he was honored with the Army Aviation Readiness Award, the EL Grant Award from the American Society of Engineering Educators, the Seven Seals Award from the National Guard and Army Reserve, and the Legion of Merit Award.
Dr. Prueitt’s education laid a solid foundation for his career. He pursued a master’s degree in operations research and mathematical analysis from The Air Force Institute of Technology, graduating in 1984, and went on to earn a PhD in industrial engineering and operations research, capital budgeting, and fleet replacement strategy from Auburn University in 1990. Today, he maintains a membership with the Quad A-Army and Aviation Association of America and has previously sat on the executive board of directors for the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce from 2012 to 2014. Additionally, he volunteers his time with his local church and veterans organizations. In advising professionals in the field, he explains that operations research encompasses various disciplines that intertwine to form problem-solving methods, so it is important to find disciplines that are enjoyable and engaging. Looking ahead, he is dedicated to helping others and guiding junior colleagues.
