415 Millennium - Seventeenth Edition FINANCE AND INSURANCE Having accrued over a decade of multifaceted experience in federal accounting and legal service, Tyler Marcel Pullens has most recently found success as a federal financial management consultant and team leader at QinetiQ, a leading defense and security company, and the American branch of a multinational defense technology group. In his capacity at the organization, Mr. Pullens plays an instrumental role in supporting the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) financial management division in various tasks, including interpreting financial reports, co-leading portfolio meetings and overseeing Avantus employees. To commemorate his dedicated efforts, Mr. Pullens was selected as a 2022 to 2023 Avantus Leadership Exploration and Development (LEAD) fellow — the highly competitive program chooses only the top 7% of employees that exhibit the best qualities in leadership. Mr. Pullens previously attended Marymount University, from which he received a BA in English, cum laude, in 2010. During this time at the institution, he served within the Student Government Association and joined the honorable society of Sigma Tau Delta. Following his graduation, he opereated as a paralegal at K&L Gates, where he gained a wealth of expertise in federal accounting throughout his work with investment management practice groups, and he became a noted subject matter expert. This provided the impetus for his decision to depart from legal service and specialize in the field at QinetiQ, through which he has authored several official protocols and processes for a number of clients, including the TSA. Mr. Pullens’ success can be directly attributed to his upbringing. To wit, he benefited richly from the influence of his mother, who stayed at home to raise both he and his sisters, instilling in them the importance of education from a very young age. Additionally, he acknowledges those who recognized his potential and provided him with the opportunities to advance in his field. In the coming years, Mr. Pullens aspires to progress his career at QinetiQ, with the ultimate goal of becoming a program manager.
