Why MPS?
I like organizations, how they work, how they are designed, and how people are empowered within them. Government organizations and nonprofits are particularly fascinating with their roots in service. From Peace Corps Volunteer, to Civil Servant at USDA and USDOJ, to working with governments in Asia and the Middle East, and two years as COO and CEO for the DC chapter of the Project Management Institute, public service has been my mission. At MPS we focus on Organizational Change to bring about more effective service delivery in the Federal Government and NGOs. It is gratifying to see the great work our team does, and the results they yield.

Why MPS?
Coming from a large organization, I joined MPS curious to test the small business environment, specifically the ability to influence and develop both corporate operations and my own delivery to our clients. Immediately I was impressed with the encouragement and autonomy to put your hand up and immerse yourself in management and corporate opportunities. The realization of my own motivation and capacity intersecting with opportunity provides a work context that leads to an immediate and tangible impact on the company, my clients and the public service. I believe this frontline service to our government clients and opportunities in corporate operations is unique to a small business, and one that genuinely values employee development.

Why MPS?
I joined MPS looking for a small company dedicated to public service and its own employees’ professional development. MPS embodies those commitments. I’ve had the pleasure of growing with MPS by working with some truly outstanding colleagues and leaders, all while contributing to our mission of empowering both government and nonprofit clients to better serve their own organizations and stakeholders.
Julianna Driskel
Operations Program Manager
Why MPS?
I was lucky enough to find MPS through the referral of a former employee who felt there would be a fit between my work style and MPS’ dedication to “Adhocracy.” Focusing on human capital development and recruiting, I’ve had the pleasure of working with candidates, new hires and employees to find the right role, the right contract, and the right professional opportunities to inspire longevity within our organization. My direction is to make the company better, and to support my coworkers however I can. I can’t think of a better place or people to do this with.
