On July 29, the Data Computer Corporation of America (DCCA) announced a significant investment with the addition of four leaders to its team. These strategic hires include a chief growth officer, vice presidents of strategic growth for the defense and intelligence division, and a director of business development for the healthtech and fintech division.
Since January 2025, Matthew Johnson has served as chief growth officer at DCCA. Johnson brings extensive expertise in business development, capture management, and strategic leadership within the federal government, the Department of Defense, and the Intelligence Community. Throughout his 25-plus-year career, he has held leadership roles at General Dynamics Information Technology, Perspecta, CACI, Six3 Systems, and American Management Systems. A Virginia Tech alumnus, he is passionate about customer missions and the challenges of the federal market.
“We’re not just expanding our team—we’re positioning DCCA to capture the extraordinary growth opportunities emerging across the federal market,” said David Bower, president and chief operating officer of DCCA. “Matt’s proven track record of turning federal relationships into sustained revenue growth makes him the right leader to accelerate our market expansion at this pivotal moment.”
Derek Noppenberger has been appointed vice president of strategic growth for the Defense and Intelligence Division. Noppenberger brings more than two decades of government contracting experience at Booz Allen Hamilton, where he led strategy, business development, and client delivery for U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community missions, with a strong focus on cybersecurity and national security operations.
“Derek brings the strategic vision and execution expertise that will transform how we compete in the defense and intelligence markets,” said Rob Suggs, senior vice president of the Defense and Intelligence Division at DCCA. “His ability to identify emerging opportunities and convert them into prime contract wins will be instrumental as we scale our operations to meet an increase in demand for mission-critical capabilities.”
In his new role, Noppenberger will lead go-to-market strategy and growth execution across the Defense and Intelligence Division, focusing on expanding the company’s prime contract footprint, strengthening customer relationships, and delivering long-term value in support of national security missions.
Barry Adams has been appointed vice president of strategic growth for the Defense and Intelligence Division, focused on mission-oriented customers in the Air Force and Space Force. Adams brings ten years of service in the Air Force and more than two decades of aerospace systems engineering and program development experience, with deep expertise in Department of Defense air and space missions, emerging technologies, and digital transformation. His proven ability to translate customer needs into funded initiatives, such as technology demonstrations, Other Transaction Authority agreements, and new programs of record, will be instrumental in advancing DCCA’s digital service offerings.
“Barry’s appointment signals our commitment to leading the next generation of air and space technology solutions,” said Bower. “His track record of converting innovative ideas into funded programs positions us to capture substantial market share as defense agencies accelerate their digital transformation initiatives.”
In his new role, Adams will oversee growth strategy, business development, and customer engagement across all levels of the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force. His responsibilities include expanding DCCA’s market presence, adapting digital services for air and space platforms, strengthening customer relationships, and collaborating with partners to develop next-generation digital capabilities that support mission success.
In addition, Ric Bush has been appointed director of business development for the HealthTech and FinTech Division.
