Donna Griffith brings more than 20 years of combined private sector and federal acquisition experience to her role as Managing Partner at Contracting Intelligence Group (CIG).

Donna’s experience spans both civilian and defense agencies, including senior acquisition roles within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Defense. She has served as a warranted Contracting Officer, a designated Competition Advocate, and a subject matter expert in small business programs, bringing a practitioner’s perspective to every engagement. She understands federal acquisition from all sides: as the official making binding decisions, as the policy leader setting the standards, and as the compliance advisor helping organizations meet them.

Most recently, Donna served as a Director of Policy, Oversight & Administration within the federal civilian sector, where she stood up and led four divisions responsible for acquisition policy, compliance oversight, workforce development, and Government Purchase Card program management.
