    Mr. Fout brings to Aquilent nearly 20 years of government and technology expertise. As Director of NASA Programs for Century Computing, he helped position the business for a strategic acquisition by AppNet in 1998. He played a pivotal role in the growth of AppNet, as Vice President of the E-Business and Technology Division and, subsequently, as the Chief Operating Officer of the E-Government Solutions division of Commerce One. In 2002, through a successful management-led buyout, Mr. Fout co-founded Aquilent. Additionally, in 2007, he co-founded Epic Acquisition Solutions (EAS), a product company delivering the leading acquisition solution in the federal government.

    Mr. Fout has assembled a team of highly talented experts who have helped Aquilent and its customers achieve numerous accolades, including, most recently, Aquilent’s recognition as one of the Top 50 Best Places to Work in Greater Washington for 2009 by Washington Business Journal and the 2008 Government Contracting Firm of the Year by the Tech Council of Maryland.

    Mr. Fout is actively involved in his community and evangelizes social responsibility within Aquilent. He has spearheaded a number of volunteer initiatives, including a program with a local VA hospital to support the rehabilitation and career transitions of veterans. He is also active in a number of professional organizations, including the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), Tech Council of Maryland, the Association for Corporate Growth, and Vistage, as well as being a Leadership Montgomery graduate.

    He holds an M.S. in Information Systems and Technology from Johns Hopkins University and a B.S. in Information Systems Management from the University of Maryland. Mr. Fout spends most of his free time with his family, but also is an avid fan of mixed martial arts and actively trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
