These achievements have supported her in mastering the intricacies of procurement, performance metrics, and regulatory frameworks essential to successful contract execution.
Ms. Magné’s professional journey began in Okinawa, Japan, working as a civil servant with the United States Marine Corps. That early experience introduced her to the mechanisms of military procurement and set the stage for her long-term interest in acquisition strategy. Upon returning to the United States, she joined Science Applications International Corporation, spending more than two decades refining her skills and advancing to director of subcontracts. In that role, she managed large-scale operations and implemented systems that improved efficiency across departments.
As her career progressed, Ms. Magné’s leadership experience continued to expand at BAE Systems Information Technology, where she played a key role in launching a new subcontracts department. She was later a senior contracts manager at Dynamics Research Corporation, adding structure to complex contracting functions.

Her leadership during this time improved compliance, communication, and internal coordination.
In subsequent roles, Ms. Magné brought her expertise to senior-level positions, including senior director of contracts at Vencore Services and Solutions and senior vice president of contracts and procurement at Amentum.

Beyond her professional life, Ms. Magné contributes to her community through civic and charitable involvement. She volunteers at a local women’s center and supports causes related to dementia and Parkinson’s disease.
