Travel Analyst, IT Support

Leo Tech LLC is a certified woman‑owned small business started in 2015 by Melody Vansandt. She has over 24 years of experience working as a Defense Contractor and Consultant and has held positions as Director of Pricing, Contracts Manager, Program Manager, and EVM Manager.

After decades of hard work in contracting and program management, she realized she wanted to form a company that genuinely cared for its customers and employees. Her goal since then has been to treat her customers and employees how she would want to be treated, learning what does and doesn’t work through personal experience and never wanting to be a President/CEO who doesn’t know her people.

She encourages employees to contact her if they ever want or need to; she keeps her cell phone number in her email signature. Leo Tech feels like a family and strives to help everyone reach their full potential, empowering employees and preventing growth limits. There are endless possibilities and opportunities for success when people work together toward a common goal honorably and compassionately.

Leo Tech’s leadership has over 25 years of experience serving in worldwide locations. The company has been a Prime Contractor on all 25+ contracts since its inception and can respond effectively and efficiently to all mission requirements and contingencies.

We offer full‑time employees many benefits that other companies may not. This includes medical, dental, vision, short‑ and long‑term disability, telemedicine, and voluntary life insurance. We also provide a $50,000 group life policy paid by the company, a 401(k) plan for employees to contribute, eleven paid federal holidays per year, and vacation and sick time based on contract requirements.
