Alan Dillingham Brings a Proven Track Record of Generating Funding for New Technologies

As an associate staff member to the powerful House Appropriations Committee and later as a consultant, Alan Dillingham has built a proven track record when it comes to creating government funding for technology companies.  Specifically, his efforts have led directly to significant funding for the following:

• Seismic research program to detect clandestine nuclear weapons testing;

• Counter-proliferation analysis and planning system developed for special forces and regional combatant commanders at a national laboratory;

• Adaptation of critical technologies from the cancelled Crusader artillery program to the Army’s Future Combat Systems program;

• Supercomputing operations, hardware and technology to maintain U.S. competitiveness in a critical national security technology;

• Revolutionary hardware encryption technology that provides greater data security;

• Research for hardened electronics to protect U.S. space-based assets;

• Telemedicine program that saves the lives of U.S. military service members by treating them faster at the point of injury;

• Roadway simulator to improve the safety and efficiency of the Army’s vehicle fleet;

• Desalination equipment for Navy lifeboats to protect the lives of US sailors;

• Computerized patient record system to increase the efficiency of military healthcare.

Dillingham served as a senior policy advisor to Congressman Martin Sabo, who retired as the Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee in 2006. During his time on Capitol Hill, Dillingham developed an in-depth knowledge of the Department of Defense and Homeland Security policies, budgets and programs.

He understands the barriers that confront companies seeking government funding for new technologies – and knows how to overcome those obstacles. Dillingham also knows the qualities that distinguish effective lobbyists and business developers, which gives him the ability to assemble the optimum team for each of his clients. His extensive network of contacts and relationships makes a key difference for AlchemyGS clients.

Dillingham serves on the Board of Advisors of American Defense International, one of the premiere lobbying and business development firms in the defense and homeland security arenas. Prior to working on Capitol Hill, Dillingham served on the faculty at William & Mary, George Washington University and Villanova University. He received his Ph.D. in International Relations from Georgetown University.
