Every day, as Adam Boyer makes sure 60,000 people have well-functioning computers and cell phones, he\u2019s really working toward a larger goal: sending astronauts to the moon, and eventually to Mars. In his job with the information technology firm Leidos, Boyer is the senior finance and business operations manager for an almost $3 billion services contract with NASA.<\/p>\n

Boyer is working to set up Space Bars, similar to Apple\u2019s Genius Bars, at all 11 NASA centers, and implementing a new backup system for all of NASA\u2019s data. He arrived at Leidos from Boeing, where he was hired after four semesters of internship, secured with the help of Barbara Petzall, PhD, past professor of management and leadership.<\/p>\n

But Boyer\u2019s life isn\u2019t just about work. When he was a junior, a baseball teammate\u2019s family lost their home in a fire. Boyer helped pass a baseball helmet around campus to raise money, collecting $1,750. They also approached the administration, and the University agreed to waive the student\u2019s tuition for the semester. Boyer wants to make sure his career path leaves time for working for causes that are dear to his heart. \u201cI want to be successful as an executive, but I also want to have the flexibility to be successful in other areas, like helping people.\u201d<\/p>\n
