Greg Sharp

Gregory (Greg) Sharp is General Manager of Jacobs Missile Defense Group (JMDG) and Program Manager for the Integrated Research & Development Enterprise Solutions (IRES) contract. IRES is a $4.6 billion, eight-year contract that supports concurrent testing, training, and operations conducted by the Missile Defense Agency with engineering, test planning and execution, information technology, and facility operations and maintenance. 

In 2003, Greg joined TYBRIN, a small business acquired by Jacobs in 2009. He started as a software engineer on the Patriot Excalibur (PEX) program and was eventually promoted to Program Manager. During his tenure, the program evolved from a small project supporting a handful of US Air Force (USAF) squadrons to an enterprise system deployed at 200 sites worldwide, managing Scheduling, Training, and Readiness for over 100k USAF personnel. He led several transformation initiatives in the Department of Defense (DoD) focused on agile software delivery. He transitioned the project to a formal USAF program of record and led the Business Development efforts to secure two contract rebids. Under his leadership in 2016, the team received the Jacobs Master Builder Award, which recognizes the company's most exceptional projects.

Following his work with PEX, Greg was selected for the ion Product Manager role as part of the Jacobs Connected Enterprise (JCE) initiative to digitize our industrial clients. He led the Go-To-Market strategy for this company-wide initiative, which developed business, license, and revenue models that transitioned the product from a strategic concept to a profitable business in two years. He presented the solution to the investor community during Jacobs' Investor Day in 2019. 

After his work with Ion, Greg moved to Colorado Springs to serve as the Director of Information Technology Service Delivery (ITSD) for the IRES contract. He was responsible for the MDA IT Enterprise – Networks, Data Centers, End User Support, Unified Communications, and Application Management – managing an organization with 600 people, 150 active projects and a $150 million budget. He led an organizational change to a new department structure, delivery model, contract structure, and financial management system, resulting in dramatically increased performance scores and reduced budget overruns. He was promoted to Deputy General Manager of JMDG in 2020 and then to General Manager in 2022. 

Greg grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, and attended Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee, Florida. He received a degree in management information systems from the FSU College of Business. He is married (Ashley) and has two children (Cam & Quinn) with whom he spends his free time.
