Scaling the Industrial Base Through Capital Markets

Join a lunch discussion on scaling the industrial base through capital markets with Young Bang, Principal Deputy, Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics, Technology). This conversation will build on a broader discussion DC-based members will have with Mr. Bang’s office a few weeks prior, focused on ALT’s priorities. Together, these two engagements will help BENS better understand the Army’s industrial base challenges and explore how members’ private sector perspectives and insights can help tackle them.

The Assistant Secretary for Acquisition, Logistics, & Technology oversees continuous modernizing of the U.S. Army through timely development and delivery of overmatch capability to deter adversaries and win the nation’s wars. He brings a wealth of private sector experience to the office.

In his current role, Mr. Bang advises the Assistant Secretary for Acquisition, Logistics & Technology and Army leadership on all matters relating to Army acquisition. Prior to joining ASA(ALT), Mr. Bang served at the C-Suite or EVP-level at multiple large and mid-size companies leading P&L, building business and growth and product development across services and product companies. He has broad experience in M&A on both buy and sell side and has used his broad knowledge of addressable markets to guide the growth in existing, adjacent, and new markets/capabilities. His extensive experience spans commercial and federal consulting covering technology, healthcare, telecom, and strategy. Mr. Bang began his career in the Army, serving in various leadership positions across Ft Bragg, Korea, and Aberdeen Proving Grounds.
