Official Endorsement
OSD(Policy)
“Three years ago, I asked you to help me identify and showcase innovative technology that enhances and streamlines business processes, brings records management into the 21st century, facilitates coordination... automates production of archival and historical documents, drives knowledge management forward... facilitates senior-level decision-making, and supports Action Officers’ research to enhance missions. You were able to leverage your extensive experience... You provided this assistance at no cost to DoD or the other interagency partners that attended our forums—but the benefit was immense.”
— Lance G. Hampton
Director for Executive Secretariat, Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy
“In today’s world of great power competition, it is more important than ever that our national defense strategy has programs like the DTIP in place... I am deeply grateful for the hard work and dedication that you have shown in support of these efforts... I cannot thank you enough. I greatly appreciate working with you.”

Director for Executive Secretariat, OSD(Policy)
“Even when COVID-19 changed our operations and working schedules, the DTIP was able to adapt, and we used our virtual forum to support the DOD’s urgent pandemic response. During this time we had our most impressive attendance, an incredible number of offices, totaling 453 call-ins. This demonstrates the power of the networks you were asked to build early in your career in the Pentagon.”
Lance G. Hampton
Director for Executive Secretariat, OSD(Policy)
“I remember the DTIP was directly asked by the Under Secretary of the Navy at the time, Hon. James Geurts, to shift the focus as he stated, “we need all the PPE we can get.” You were able to create seamless collaboration between sister services and like-minded forums to amplify the outreach of your emerging discoveries that helped save lives of warfighters and citizens at home and abroad.”
Lance G. Hampton
Director for Executive Secretariat, OSD(Policy)
“What was most valuable was that you were able to bring revolutionary ideas and capabilities that were immediately relevant now... Now, of course, my office must work toward acquiring the similar capability you demonstrated—but that is a wholly different problem! A problem that I am happy to have compared to the lack of awareness we had years ago.”

Director for Executive Secretariat, OSD(Policy)
“I offer my highest recommendation for you to consider including Nino Marcantonio on your strategic innovations, team building, and problem-solving teams. Nino is one of the most creative, energetic, and passionate rainmakers I’ve encountered in my career. Senior defense leaders and others rely on him for delivering keen insights into complex systems. He is fearless in attacking wicked problems and connecting myriad people and ideas to advance the organization’s objectives.”
Major General Edward “Hertz” Vaughan
Executive Director, OSD Joint Rapid Acquisition Cell
