Before these assignments, Mr. Speer served as a Managing Director for PricewaterhouseCoopers Public Services, where he led their Defense and Army business. He has been significantly involved in Department of Defense financial management solutions and defense related professional organizations throughout his career. He served 28 years in the U. S. Army where he gained in-depth experience and progressive responsibility in command and staff positions in the Army and the Joint Force, to include Battalion Command in the 82nd Airborne Division and Brigade Level Command of a Defense Agency operation.
Carrie joined Google in 2011, during the early days of cloud computing. She spent three years building the market in the Southeast; then in 2014, she relocated to London to join Google’s European sales leadership team. There, she spent three years working with FTS500 customers to ensure Google Cloud’s products were anticipating Europe, Middle East, and Africa market needs.
Before Google, Carrie spent eight years in Strategy Consulting and another four years in User Research and Experience Design. Carrie’s father, Terry Brady, is an Army Vietnam Veteran and her brother-in-law is the Commanding Officer of Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base. Her relocation to Washington DC was driven by a need to put family values in the forefront and engage in domestic veteran support initiatives.
