As an officer in Booz Allen's public sector business, Dov Zakheim, Ph.D, will offer a broad set of skills and experience across the entire federal consulting business.
“Dr. Zakheim's international expertise, coupled with his depth of knowledge in national security affairs and national defense policy, serve as a perfect fit for our global management and strategy firm,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ralph W. Shrader.
Before being sworn in as an Under Secretary of Defense three years ago, Dr. Zakheim served in a number of key positions in government and private business.
He was corporate vice president of System Planning Corp., a technology, research, and analysis firm based in Arlington, Va. He also served as chief executive officer of SPC International Corp., a subsidiary specializing in political, military and economic consulting. During the 2000 presidential campaign, he served as a senior foreign policy advisor to then-Governor Bush.
From 1985 until March 1987, Dr. Zakheim was Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Planning and Resources in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Policy). In that capacity, he played an active role in the Department's system acquisition and strategic planning processes. Dr. Zakheim held a variety of other Department of Defense posts from 1981 to 1985. Earlier, he was employed by the National Security and International Affairs Division of the Congressional Budget Office.
Dr. Zakheim has been an adjunct professor at the National War College, Yeshiva University, Columbia University and Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., where he was presidential scholar.
He is the author of “Flight of the Lavi: Inside a U.S.-Israeli Crisis”, “Congress and National Security in the Post-Cold War Era”, “Toward a Fortress Europe?”, and numerous articles and chapters in books.
