Benjamin Harris III Client Delivery Executive


As the leader of a team of information technology professionals that provide major application development and systems integration services to the Department of Home- land Security (DHS), Harris establishes strategy, and has consistently exceeded DHS expectations and met revenue and profit goals. Since joining HP in 2006, he has grown revenues from $9 million to $19 million. His team has garnered accolades including three con- secutive “Top Box” ratings on the annual Voice of the Client survey, and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), OCIO Team Award. Plus, Harris’ direction of the ICE Enforce Program resulted in the successful defense of five key multi-year task orders. By focusing on the provision of high-quality and predictable solutions the Harris team has increased the capacity of application development and systems integration services offered to DHS. This put HP in the position for greater opportunities. The foundation of the team’s success had been to leverage HP’s unique suite of services and products, client relations, and partner- ships.
