Avantus Federal, a McLean-based IT defense contractor, announced Tuesday it has appointed former Engility CEO Lynn Dugle to its board of directors.

Dugle was chairman and CEO of Chantilly-based Engility before its 2019 acquisition by Reston-based Science Applications International Corp. During her career, she also served in several executive leadership positions with Raytheon. Dugle earned her bachelor’s degree from Purdue University and her master’s degree in business administration from The University of Texas at Austin.

In October 2020, McLean-based defense contractor E3/Sentinel LLC announced it would operate under the Avantus Federal name. Avantus had operated as E3/Sentinel since 2018, following the merger of E3 Federal Solutions and The Sentinel Co. The company offers data engineering, advanced analytics and software development services to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Community.
