Executive Management

Steve Weiss, as President, has been at the helm of Accelera since 2016, guiding the company through a crucial transformation towards specialized high-value professional services and consulting. His leadership in key areas such as Cloud Modernization, ServiceNow, Cyber Security, and Identity and Access Management has been central to Accelera's strategic development and continued success.

Before assuming leadership at Accelera, Steve dedicated a decade to CACI International as Executive Vice President of Government Business Operations and Corporate Ombudsman. His extensive career also spans 18 years at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), where he achieved the position of Senior Vice President. Steve's career began as an Air Force Contracting Officer, where he accrued 22 years of distinguished service in both active duty and reserves.

A recognized authority in Government Contracting, Steve's contributions have been pivotal to enhancing the growth and operational efficiency of both emerging and established businesses. His commitment to workforce development and fostering a culture of ethics, integrity, and character is unwavering.

At Accelera, Steve applies his comprehensive expertise and visionary leadership to further the company's standing as a leader in technological innovation and service excellence.

Dayel Ostraco, Chief Technology Officer, brings more than 20 years of experience delivering secure, mission-critical platforms across the Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency, Department of Veterans Affairs, and federal civilian agencies. His prior engineering and architecture leadership at Modus21, Equifax Government Services, CACI International, and Booz Allen Hamilton spans Zero Trust microservices, AI/ML decisioning platforms, and secure data architectures. Dayel has founded and led two technology companies through successful exits, holds the CISSP and AWS Certified Solutions Architect certifications, and maintains an active DoD Secret clearance.

At Accelera, Dayel leads technology strategy with a focus on embedding AI as a foundational engineering discipline across federal solutions. Not an add-on capability, but a mission-ready component of modern systems. At the core is Accelera's multi-cloud AI orchestration platform: architecture that lets agent teams operate across Azure OpenAI, Google Vertex, AWS Bedrock, and other government-authorized services through a vendor-agnostic abstraction layer with deterministic guardrails enforced at the orchestration layer.

His prior engineering work underwrites Accelera's frontier capability. Dayel led AI/ML decisioning platforms processing more than ten million daily transactions across federal benefits and identity-verification programs. That work supported over $1.7 billion in cumulative federal program revenue. He has secured ATOs for bleeding-edge platforms including blockchain identity systems and on-premises LLM inference. That discipline now drives Accelera's agent-IAM posture: every production AI agent operates with a scoped identity in the same IAM control plane as every other actor, least-privilege permissions, and a per-action audit trail traceable to the human who delegated the work.

His leadership extends Accelera's two decades of federal engineering into the next generation of AI-enabled capability: architectures that let federal agencies adopt AI without sacrificing compliance, vendor independence, or mission control, with authorization and human-in-the-loop oversight designed in from the start.
