After almost a year and a half as CEO, Dede Dascalu is moving on from Applied Insight LLC. Dascalu, who had previously served as the Tysons technology company’s chief technology officer and has been leading it since March 2020, said Wednesday he was leaving to become a technology partner for The Acacia Group, the Ashburn private equity firm that counts Applied Insight among its portfolio companies.
As a result, government contracting veteran and former Geospark Analytics CEO Amanda Brownfield will succeed Dascalu as Applied Insight’s new CEO, the company announced Wednesday.
