Willie McFadden / From West Point to Booz Allen 44 > Willie McFadden spent 23 years in the US Army, most recently as a full professor at the US Military Academy at West Point. He is a 1983 West Point graduate himself, and with a master’s degree in operations research and a Ph.D. in engineering management, he could have written his ticket to anywhere when he retired from the Army. So why Booz Allen? “It was the quality of Booz Allen’s people, from the staff all the way up to leadership,” says McFadden, a senior associate in Huntsville, Alabama, who specializes in modeling, simulation, wargaming, and analysis. “You get spoiled at West Point because you work with some of the best and brightest. I was impressed that I could work with the same caliber of skilled and talented folks here at Booz Allen.” One of McFadden’s first assignments was to build a summer internship program to discover and groom new talent. “If we don’t have strong junior staff, we’re not going to grow,” he says. “They bring new energy, ideas, and learning to our organization.” He works with area universities to recruit interns, some of whom have since joined the firm. McFadden also serves as a board member of several nonprofit organizations related to his field, including the American Society for Engineering Management, where he served as president and is now a fellow. One of McFadden’s passions is gardening. “Being outside, mowing the yard, weeding and planting— gives me a sense of accomplishment because within hours, you can see the results of your work.” He adds, “I feel the same way about my career at Booz Allen—I can see I’m making a difference.” 2,420 employees have been with Booz Allen for more than 10 years
