Ramon A. Alicea Jr.
Senior Program & Transformation Leader
"I bring expertise, flexibility, and servant leadership to every project, delivering results efficiently and reliably."
With 29 years of experience in IT and program management, my career began as a Cryptologic Technician Communications in the U.S. Navy, laying a solid foundation for my future in telecommunications and technology leadership. I've since built deep expertise leading enterprise-scale programs across Telecommunications, Government, and Defense sectors, including foundational experience in Department of Defense program and contract management.
My career evolved from system engineering into program and portfolio leadership, where I've managed initiatives ranging from national infrastructure deployments to complex governance frameworks, leveraging AI to accelerate decision-making without a programming background. Today, I'm applying that expertise in the telecommunications industry, driving transformation at national scale, with a proven track record of helping organizations achieve their objectives.
As an Honorably Discharged Navy Veteran and Engineering Project Management Professional, I bring military discipline and deep IT expertise to every program I lead. I have a track record of delivering large-scale initiatives on time and within budget, navigating complex information systems, and leading cross-functional teams from conception to completion.
Bachelor of Science, Business Administration and Management, DeVry University, Lisle, IL (In Progress)

True fulfillment comes from giving of yourself and assisting those in need, in any way you can. These are the causes I actively support, and why they matter to me.
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Homeless Program. Stand Downs connect homeless and at-risk veterans with food, clothing, health screenings, and benefits.
This cause is personal to me. Before joining BAE Systems in 2012, my family and I experienced homelessness. The VA's assistance made a real difference for us, and I now volunteer at these events, helping homeless veterans get connected to the benefits and assistance they've earned.

This cause is deeply personal to me. I've faced my own mental health struggles, and I lost someone close to me — someone who helped me through one of the hardest points in my life — to suicide. Supporting AFSP is my way of honoring that loss.
