Profiles of Inspiring Innovation: Spotlighting Industry ‘Game Changer’ Dr. Teresa Dos

Campaign: Profiles of Good Character and Inspiring Innovation
Headshot of Dr. Teresa Dos

Teresa Dos, Ed.D., has built a career defined by disciplined leadership, mission impact, and a relentless drive to advance the U.S. Army’s digital enterprise. With more than 20 years of experience guiding large‑scale programs across government and industry, her influence continues to shape some of the Army’s most consequential modernization efforts.

As deputy for CACI’s NC4SI program, Dos helps manage and lead cross-functional teams of subject matter experts supporting the HQDA G-6, the Army's senior military office responsible for all command, control, communications, cyber operations, and network matters. Their work is critical to executing the Army's Unified Network Plan (AUNP) 2.0 — a comprehensive, data- and security-driven modernization effort.  

“Our team provides the highly specialized expertise that the government requires to modernize AUNP and enable multi-domain operations,” Dos said. “As a trusted partner, we ensure the Army maintains decision dominance on the battlefield.”

The team’s proven clarity and execution were put to the test during the longest government furlough in U.S. history: 45 days. While federal operations paused, Dos’s teams ensured the Army’s network readiness remained uninterrupted, seamlessly sustaining essential functions without a single degradation to the mission. 

“By delivering this level of enterprise-scale innovation and reliability, we embody CACI’s commitment to being ‘Ever Vigilant,’” she said. 

Another defining moment in Dos’s career was serving as a system architect and lead during the Army 365 implementation — the largest organizational Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud migration in history. Together, Dos and her team led working groups of more than 200 experts across the Department of War (DoW) and private industry to establish performance standards and centralized reporting.

The outcome was historic: for this massive effort, the team was honored with the CACI Champions Exceptional Performance Award and became the first contracting team ever to be recognized by name for the DoW Chief Information Officer (CIO) Award for Cyber & IT Excellence.

“My greatest pride lies in the historic achievements of our team,” said Dos. “As a lasting testament to this unprecedented achievement, our team’s photos, names, and accomplishments are prominently displayed on the DoW CIO's corridor wall within the Pentagon.”

For Dos, success is deeply tied to partnership. Working alongside Program Manager Deon Young, she has helped build an agile, high‑performing team that consistently exceeds expectations — including earning an “Exceptional” Contractor Performance Assessment Report rating, the highest possible distinction.

“My leadership approach is rooted in enablement, mentorship, and accountability,” Dos said. “By empowering our people to grow, lead, and elevate one another, I help ensure we execute our shared vision for the program while supporting Deon’s focus on higher-level strategic growth.” 

Dos invests the same energy in upskilling her team as she does in her own journey of continuous learning. She leverages CACI’s EdAssist program, CACI Virtual University (CVU), and an expansive catalog of professional certification pathways — resources that supported her graduate and doctoral studies, funded her executive education at Harvard Business School, and equipped her to earn Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and Project Manager Professional (PMP) credentials.  

“Being surrounded by a collaborative culture and strong leaders within CACI equips me with the advanced frameworks and support system I need to mentor the next generation of leaders,” she said. “This environment empowers me to challenge the status quo, drive meaningful change, and effectively serve as a catalyst for innovation.”

Dos’s transformational leadership has earned her prestigious industry recognitions over the years. This past April, LeadForward selected Dos to receive its 2026 Game Changer Award for her ability to inspire change and demonstrate comfort in breaking traditional molds to drive positive outcomes. 

As she continues to lead with vision and purpose, her influence extends well beyond any single achievement. Her work, her impact, and her example continue to advance CACI’s legacy and inspire what’s possible for tomorrow.
