Human Resource Manager

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, having held positions including 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. Her goal since then has been to treat her customers and employees as 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 both professionally and personally, and 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 honorably and compassionately.

Leo Tech's leadership has over 25 years of experience serving in worldwide geographical locations. Leo Tech has been a Prime Contractor on all 25+ contracts since its inception. Our Corporate and Personal Experience illustrates our ability to respond efficiently to all mission requirements and contingencies.
