"Rob Slaughter is the Director of Platform One. He sets the priorities and drives the vision for our platform while bringing in Program Offices from every service to drive inter-service collaboration. It is no understatement to say that he’s the reason we’re all here. He preaches the good word to our customers but has also been instrumental in working with our Acquisition team to get contracts in place. He drives our badge-less, happy go lucky culture and ensures that we continue to be a vendor agnostic solution. It is a well-known fact that his greatest accomplishment was establishing Waffle Wednesday bringing smiles to everyone’s face. After all, he knows happy people make better products and better serve customers. Is there anything this guy can’t do? ",
