ROME — ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC recently appointed U.S. Air Force veteran and Rome native Chris Yager as senior contracts manager for the firm’s research and engineering services division.
Yager’s government-contracting experience includes areas related to global Air Force logistics and aircraft maintenance. After starting his military career in mechanics working on fighter and attack aircraft, he became a contracting officer’s representative for the remotely piloted aircraft enterprise, according to an ANDRO news release. In that role, Yager managed a contract-oversight team to ensure contractor compliance with federal regulations and played a pivotal role in contract source-selection processes administering the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement on behalf of item procurement and acquisition.
Later in his Air Force career, Yager moved into a senior-leadership position, where he oversaw a portfolio of contracts related to aircraft communications and maintenance support, ANDRO said. Most recently, he served as the senior enlisted leader for a large logistics hub, where he managed international contracts spanning five countries.
“We are excited to welcome Chris in his new role at ANDRO and thank him for his service to our nation,” ANDRO President Andrew Drozd said in the release. “As a dedicated Air Force veteran, he brings exceptional discipline and a meticulous eye to detail that will further enrich our ANDRO team in all aspects of contractual management. His military experience has equipped him with strong leadership and problem-solving skills, which are crucial for managing intricate contracts. His commitment to excellence aligns seamlessly with ANDRO’s mission to provide services for our clients. We are confident in Chris’ crucial role in supporting our ongoing growth, exploring new opportunities, improving our operational efficiency, and achieving our strategic goals.”
Yager holds a bachelor’s degree in occupational education with a focus on the interpretation of regulatory standards and compliance from Wayland Baptist University and an associate degree in general studies from Mohawk Valley Community College.
ANDRO, based in Rome, provides research, engineering, and technical services to defense and commercial industries in advanced-spectrum exploitation, secure wireless communications, software-based waveform development, and more.
