Why MPS?
I like organizations, how they work, how they are designed, and how people are empowered within them. Government organizations and nonprofits are particularly fascinating with their roots in service. From Peace Corps Volunteer, to Civil Servant at USDA and USDOJ, to working with governments in Asia and the Middle East, and two years as COO and CEO for the DC chapter of the Project Management Institute, public service has been my mission. At MPS we focus on Organizational Change to bring about more effective service delivery in the Federal Government and NGOs. It is gratifying to see the great work our team does, and the results they yield.

Why MPS?
Coming from a large organization, I joined MPS curious to test the small business environment, specifically the ability to influence and develop both corporate operations and my own delivery to our clients. Immediately I was impressed with the encouragement and autonomy to put your hand up and immerse yourself in management and corporate opportunities. The realization of my own motivation and capacity intersecting with opportunity provides a work context that leads to an immediate and tangible impact on the company, my clients and the public service. I believe this frontline service to our government clients and opportunities in corporate operations is unique to a small business, and one that genuinely values employee development.

Certifications:
- Certified Project Management Professional (PMP®)
Why MPS?
I joined MPS looking for a small company dedicated to public service and its own employees’ professional development. MPS embodies those commitments. I’ve had the pleasure of growing with MPS by working with some truly outstanding colleagues and leaders, all while contributing to our mission of empowering both government and nonprofit clients to better serve their own organizations and stakeholders.
Patrick Hendrickson, PMP
Account Manager
Certifications:
- Certified Project Management Professional (PMP®)
- Certified Technology Business Management Executive (CTBME®)
- Certified Scrum Master (CSM®)
Why MPS?
With a lifelong interest in government and American civics, I chose MPS because of my desire to see our system work better. I have stayed at MPS because of the company’s commitment to people and effectiveness. As a junior employee, I was encouraged to speak up, add my perspective and assume critical responsibilities. The opportunities to participate in all aspects of the business are boundless and supported by an environment of mentorship, professional development and teamwork. As I navigate the large bureaucracy of the Federal Government, it is reassuring to have a reliable team with little hierarchy or ego and an eagerness to get it done.
