PEO EIS’s Acquisition Innovation Directorate (AID), formerly known as Director, Acquisition and Systems Management/Strategic Initiatives Group (DASM/SIG), recently changed its name to more clearly reflect how team members assist PEO EIS and its program managers.

“I leverage technology so the Army can execute better, stronger and faster,” said Balinda Moreland, technical management division chief for the Defense Integrated Business Systems program within PEO EIS’s Business Mission Area. “I like to compare my job to ‘The Six Million Dollar Man,’ an old TV series about using technology to build the world’s first bionic man — better, stronger and faster than he was before.”

“I have been blessed by a lot of random choices that happened to go my way,” said Wayne Hutchins, a systems engineer and self-described computer geek who supports everything IT-related for the Human Resource Solutions (HR Solutions) program inside PEO EIS’s Enterprise Services portfolio.
