History

Herren is more than just the name of our CEO. It also stands for the principles he established over 20 years ago when this company was established. Over the years, we have grown from a handful of industrial engineers to a comprehensive consultancy of choice for the region. Take a look at the story of how we got here:

    • Incorporating systems engineering and program management solutions led to a deeper understanding of the programmatic challenges faced by the government to not only realize cost efficiency but also improve the effectiveness of their processes. To address this need, Herren introduces more robust process improvement services, providing the unbiased analysis across a wide range of defense programs, civilian agencies, and foreign military programs.
