Founding BecTech has been the greatest challenge of my life. Seeing our employees excel each day in what they do for our customers and our Navy is a true blessing."

As her Combat Systems expertise grew, Mrs. Sutton became a Test and Evaluation expert and supported APL and the U.S. Navy in testing ship-board Combat Systems. Mrs. Sutton served as Senior Vice President of ManTech prior to founding BecTech®, Inc. in September of 1997; and has served as BecTech®'s CEO since its' founding.
