Meet The Founder

Steve Hoffman PMP, CSEP

As the President of HELM Innovations, I leverage my 30+ years of experience in national security to provide programmatic, science, technology, systems engineering, and strategic thinking solutions for public and private sectors. I have a proven track record of leading and growing teams, delivering innovative and integrated solutions, and fostering strategic partnerships across multiple disciplines and domains.

Before founding HELM Innovations, I served as the Vice President of National Security Science and Technology at LMI, where I led a 191+ person service line that increased revenue by 110% and personnel by 130% in two years. I also orchestrated innovation by partnering with academic institutions to enhance client solutions with cutting edge technologies. I have extensive interagency and international experience at the senior level, with relationships at the National Security Council, the Joint Staff, the European Command, and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

I am a certified systems engineer, DAWIA Level III PM, a project management professional, and a former naval aviator with expertise in China, NATO, Russia, nuclear security, C5ISR, spectrum management, maritime security, joint weapons systems, international program management, CBRNE, life sciences, RDT&E, and electromagnetic systems.
