SAM NICHOLSON
Chief Engineer
"It's pretty easy to provide security these days, and with modern cloud computing, it's easy to be flexible. What is very difficult is to be secure, flexible and financially responsible for our customer's mission requirements. Our Cloud-Based Mission Services/Platform allows us to be a key part of the solution for our customers and not the source of the problem. I have been working on problems such as this for my entire career. Balancing security, flexibility, and affordability is never easy, and most companies only give lip service to one of those goals (if not all three). KBR is different and encourages me, and all of us, to be diligent in the pursuit of these goals, and supports us in our efforts!"
