The founder

Why companies hire Capitol Mission Strategies.

David Xavier Agnelli Lesansky has sat in nearly every seat your federal customer sits in — engineer, analyst, operator, program leader, and executive advisor. That is what he brings to your opportunity.

The progression

From the network to the mission.

  1. 01 · Federal IT & network engineering

    Where it started: the networks.

    Building and running federal enterprise IT and telecommunications. He knows what your engineers are actually building — and what it takes to make it work inside a government environment.

  2. 02 · Intelligence

    Learning what information is for.

    Moving from the systems to the people who rely on them. Intelligence work teaches one thing above all: technology only matters when it puts the right information in front of the right person in time.

  3. 03 · Federal law enforcement

    The mission, in the field.

    Years as an operator, where requirements are not abstract and failure has consequences. This is the user your proposal is really written for.

  4. 04 · National programs & technology modernization

    Delivering at national scale.

    Leading programs and modernization efforts across agencies — budgets, oversight, contractors, schedules, and the gap between a contract's promise and what gets fielded.

  5. 05 · DHS Secretary-level integration & executive advisory

    Where decisions get made.

    Operational integration and advisory work at the Department of Homeland Security's highest level. He knows how senior leaders weigh a decision, and what they need to hear to make one.

  6. 06 · Capitol Mission Strategies

    Now working for you.

    Every stage of that career is now on your side of the table — helping your company understand the customer, shape the solution, and win the work.
