Bob Palmer, VP, Software Solutions, NS2: SAP National Security Services

Bob Palmer has been supporting clients in the Intelligence Community and DoD for approaching 25 years. He is VP of Software Solutions at NS2: SAP National Security Services, and has been with SAP for 13 years.  In his technology evangelist role, he supports NS2’s clients in the area of data management, machine learning and High-Performance Data Analysis.  He has represented NS2 as a guest speaker at organizations such as the Naval Post Graduate School, the Insider Threat Symposium, SOFIC, the INSA Innovator’s Showcase, and he has been a principal speaker in the annual SAP National Security Services Solution Summit held each fall. His presentation from the 2017 NS2 Solution Summit can be viewed in the following YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAZSGe5eALY&t=126s

When not engaged with cutting-edge technology for data mining and other arcane pursuits, he likes to drive his not-so-cutting-edge 1969 MGB at moderate speeds on windy rural roads.   Bob has a Master of Science in Information Systems degree from the Univ. of Maryland, Baltimore County (Go Retrievers!) as well as a master's degree and a Graduate Certificate in Data Science from the Indiana University School of Information, Computing and Engineering.  He is continually disappointed that two master's degrees do not add up to a doctorate.
