Eastern Shawnee Companies (ESC) is pleased to announce Ron McCutcheon as General Manager, strengthening the company’s leadership team as ESC continues to expand its federal contracting capabilities and pursue strategic growth opportunities.

McCutcheon brings more than 30 years of experience spanning federal program and contract management, engineering, business development, client relations, and organizational leadership.

In his role as General Manager, McCutcheon will lead ESC’s growth strategy and business development efforts, with responsibility for identifying and qualifying new opportunities, developing capture and win strategies, strengthening relationships with clients and strategic partners, and guiding major pursuits from qualification through award.

Working closely with ESC’s business development, proposal, operations and executive leadership teams, he will help ensure the company’s growth efforts remain focused, competitive and aligned with ESC’s long-term objectives.

“Ron brings an exceptional combination of federal contracting knowledge, client experience and strategic leadership to Eastern Shawnee Companies,” said Matt Metcalf, CEO. “As we continue to grow, his experience will help us be more deliberate about where we pursue opportunities, how we position ourselves to win and how we build lasting relationships with our customers and partners.”

McCutcheon’s previous leadership experience includes oversight of federal programs and IDIQ contracts, contract negotiation and administration, client relationship management, resource planning and business development. His experience working across both program delivery and business development provides a valuable perspective as ESC continues building its federal portfolio.
