On April 23, Herndon, VA-based ManTech announced that it has promoted Eric “Mell” Mellinger to be vice president of business development for the company’s Defense Sector.
“With 30 years’ experience in senior-level military roles, Mell holds deep understanding of U.S. armed forces’ mission technology needs in virtually every battle scenario,” said David Hathaway, president of ManTech’s Defense Sector. “His strong alignment with every DoD agency is a win not only for ManTech, but for national security itself.”
Since joining ManTech in 2019, Mellinger has been an instrumental force driving multiple DoD contract wins, including nearly $1 billion with the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab (MCWL) and Deputy Commandant for Information (DCI) in 2024.
Prior to joining ManTech, Mellinger served as senior professional staff member for the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) focused on Defense Reform, helping develop the agenda for modernizing U.S. warfighting capabilities. During his military service, he commanded global crisis response missions in the Middle East, Africa and Indo-Pacific region.
Mellinger graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy and cross-commissioned into the U.S. Marine Corps. He holds MS degrees from National Defense University and Marine Corps University.
