Contract Manager - Leo Tech, LLC

Leo Tech LLC is a certified woman-owned small business started in 2015 by Melody Vansandt. She has over 24 years of experience working as a Defense Contractor and consultant and has held positions as Director of Pricing, Contracts Manager, Program Manager, and EVM Manager.

After decades of hard work in contracting and program management, she realized she wanted to form a company that genuinely cared for its customers and employees. Since then, her goal has been to treat her customers and employees how she would like to be treated. She has learned what does and doesn't work through personal experience and never wants to be a President/CEO who doesn't know her people.

She encourages employees to contact her if they ever want or need to; therefore, she keeps her cell phone number in her email signature. She wants Leo Tech to feel like a family and for everybody to reach their full potential. She wants to empower employees and help them succeed in their professional and personal lives-she never wants to limit an individual's growth. There are endless possibilities and opportunities for success when people work together toward a common goal and do so honorably and compassionately.
