Sabel Systems Technology Solutions has named GovCon industry leaders Tina Dolph, a four-time Wash100 awardee, and Blake Larson to its board of directors.
The company said Thursday the appointments come as it continues to drive growth, expand defense and space capabilities, deepen strategic partnerships and advance its mission in support of defense and national security customers.
“These appointments bring extraordinary leadership, operational depth, and strategic insight to our Board at a pivotal moment in Sabel’s growth,” said Sabel Systems CEO Shawn Purvis.
“Tina and Blake each bring decades of experience leading large, complex organizations at the intersection of technology, defense, and government services. Their perspectives will be invaluable as we expand our digital engineering platform and execute our long-term growth strategy,” added Purvis, a four-time Wash100 awardee who took on her current role at Sabel Systems in early 2025.
