Capital Edge, the nation’s first independent consulting firm exclusively focused on U.S. government contracts and grants, announces the addition of their newest Director, Edwin Darilek. Darilek is an automation and innovation leader known for advancing technology modernization across the public sector. His arrival reinforces Capital Edge’s commitment to delivering technology-enabled solutions for government and contractor clients.

Based in Washington, D.C., Darilek brings 20+ years of experience implementing automation and AI-driven solutions using proprietary and open-source technologies. His work has consistently transformed traditional government technical architectures, bringing agility, efficiency, and operational change to government agencies including the Department of Defense (Department of War), Veterans Affairs, Internal Revenue Service, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as well as numerous government contractors.

“Edwin’s addition represents a considerable step forward in our emphasis on providing clients with practical, technology-driven solutions across the government contracting lifecycle,” said Sean O’Connor, Managing Partner at Capital Edge. “I have known and worked with Edwin throughout his career and have always been impressed by his proven ability to drive growth in areas where others only see obstacles. We're thrilled to welcome him as we enter our next phase of expansion."

Darilek has proven in practice how to lead technical advancements that are sustained within operations. His innovations permeated through his previous roles at Lockheed Martin, Booz Allen Hamilton, and most recently while leading the team at Valytics, a Quality Assurance and Data Management company catalyzing technology modernization for agencies such as the Defense Health Agency and the U.S Department of Homeland Security.

Chad Braley, Chief Executive Officer and National Managing Partner at Capital Edge, shared that Darilek’s firsthand experience advancing technology for government programs perfectly aligns with the company’s mission. “Edwin is not only an exceptional fit for our team, but we could not be more energized to see the ways he will help us and our clients lead in system modernization within the government ecosystem,” said Braley.
