Capital Edge Welcomes Edwin Darilek to Advance Technology Innovation Across the Government Landscape

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Capital Edge, the nation’s first independent consulting firm exclusively focused on U.S. government contracts and grants, announces the addition of their newest Director, Edwin Darilek. Darilek is an automation and innovation leader known for advancing technology modernization across the public sector. His arrival reinforces Capital Edge’s commitment to delivering technology-enabled solutions for government and contractor clients.

Based in Washington, D.C., Darilek brings 20+ years of experience implementing automation and AI-driven solutions using proprietary and open-source technologies. His work has consistently transformed traditional government technical architectures, bringing agility, efficiency, and operational change to government agencies including the Department of Defense (Department of War), Veterans Affairs, Internal Revenue Service, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as well as numerous government contractors.

“Edwin’s addition represents a considerable step forward in our emphasis on providing clients with practical, technology-driven solutions across the government contracting lifecycle,” said Sean O’Connor, Managing Partner at Capital Edge. “I have known and worked with Edwin throughout his career and have always been impressed by his proven ability to drive growth in areas where others only see obstacles.
