Terry joins UDC as Director of Business Development for the firm’s Federal Practice Area. He has over 8 years of experience directing business development in the Federal sector as well as more than 25 years of experience applying GIS to a wide variety of Defense applications.

He was first introduced to the value of GIS at the Nature Conservancy, where he worked on the Santa Cruz Island Project. He began his GIS career after moving to the East Coast, helping build one of the first Superfund/BRAC Environmental GIS implementations for the US Army at Ft. Devens, MA. Prior to joining UDC, Terry worked at Esri and most recently served as Director for Locana’s Federal Business Development.

During his time at Esri, Terry managed Esri’s US Air Force (USAF) Installations and Environment accounts as part of the Defense Team. He played a key role in working with the USAF and Esri Business Partners to develop one of the first global, enterprise, and standards-based Enterprise GIS for Installation Management and Forward Deployment in the GeoBase/GeoReach Program. Terry’s Esri experience also included working with large water utilities.

Directing Federal BD, Terry is helping establish UDC’s foothold in this market. His responsibilities include creating long-term business growth strategies for the market, building relationships with Federal agencies, and developing key partnerships within the industry.

“As Director of Business Development for UDC’s Federal Practice, I am helping establish our presence in the Federal Market by building relationships with Esri, other Business Partners, and Federal Agencies. I plan to take UDC’s unique GIS skillset to the Federal market to serve digital agencies by providing geospatial solutions that support situational awareness, decision-making, and policy transparency”.
