TEXAS -- The Defense Contract Management Agency Special Programs South's performance improvement officer, John Moses, was recently recognized by the agency’s Mission Review Team as having the best practice within the Management Internal Control Program.
“John's analytical abilities have improved the monthly program management review process and ensured data integrity,” said Sandy McCarrie, Moses’ supervisor. “He has been an asset to DCMA Special Programs South since transferring to us from DCMA International.”
As PIO, Moses oversees, implements and executes the CMO’s internal control program, as well as provides performance analysis and reporting, and ensures
data integrity.
McCarrie said she appreciates Moses’ ability to analyze research and provide accurate data.
“We were fortunate enough to fill a need when we selected John, as he quickly rose through the ranks and was eventually selected as our PIO,” said Phil Yacovoni, DCMA Special Programs South director. “As a direct result of his leadership, we were recognized during our last MRT as having a best practice in our Management Internal Control Program.”
Moses started with the agency in 2003 as a contracts management assistant in DCMA Northern Europe, located in the United Kingdom.
“I loved my tour overseas, as one of my hobbies is traveling,” said Moses. “I appreciate the opportunity to work in a different culture and opportunities to travel to other countries.”
He said weekend trips to neighboring countries allowed him to speak the foreign languages he has studied.
Moses has an undergraduate degree in French and business studies, a graduate degree in French literature and holds a doctorate in French linguistics and pedagogy. He directed the French language instruction program at Indiana University from 1998 to 2000 and at the University of North Texas from 2000 to 2003, having oversight of the language curriculum articulation and instruction for all students studying French.
Much of his life has been dedicated to studying French starting in the 6th grade when his family housed students as part of a foreign exchange program. These French exchange students introduced Moses to their language, sparking a lifelong interest in language learning.
“They motivated me by teaching me words and understanding there are other ways to communicate besides English,” said Moses.
After starting French studies, he said other cultures began appealing to him. Moses also studied German in high school and has a working proficiency in the language. He has a “near native” proficiency in Portuguese after living in Brazil as a foreign exchange student in high school. Moses also attended university in Besançon, France.
Moses appreciates having had the opportunity to work for DCMA International and now to be a part of Special Programs because they operate in close-knit working groups.
“Foremost, I enjoy the people, their dedication, and their hard work. It is more than just a paycheck,” said Moses. “A great working group starts from the top.”
