During his tenure at NGC, Lamb was routinely recognized for his exemplary work.  Last year, he was a recipient of two BRAVO Awards, honors given only to NGC’s top performers.  Lamb was deemed a Subject Matter Expert for Contract Closeouts in 2016; that same year, he was part of the Directed Energy team that was granted the NGC Award for Excellence.

“McDermott & Bull has an outstanding reputation and possesses the highest levels of integrity and standards of excellence.  My decision to join the firm was an easy one,” said Lamb.  “I am looking forward to working with a talented group of individuals and leveraging my industry expertise to help drive new opportunities for McDermott & Bull’s Aviation & Aerospace Practice.”

After receiving his BA in Political Sciences (with a focus in National Security Studies) from UCLA, Lamb went-on to earn his MA in International Relations (with a focus in Defense & Security) from the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom.
