Frank Kelley

DAU

Vice President

Mr. Frank Kelley currently serves as the Vice President at the Defense Acquisition University (DAU) focusing on aligning DAU’s strategic goals to both the Secretary of Defense and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. Mr. Kelley continues to help build the reputation of DAU as the DOD’s primary learning institution, and oversees the development and delivery of acquisition curriculum across the acquisition workforce.

Prior to joining DAU, Mr. Kelley served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy Unmanned Systems from October 2015 – June 2018. In this capacity, he was the principal advisor to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition on matters relating to unmanned systems across all domains—land, sea, and air.

Mr. Kelley had a 32-year career with the United States Marine Corps. Some of his most notable accomplishments were graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Aerospace Engineering and being a recipient of the Naval ROTC Donald R. Bertling Award. His career flourished as he graduated from Officer Candidate School, went on to flight training, and Mr. Kelley’s dedication to his service and country are what got him to being promoted to the rank of Brigadier General.

A morning for Mr. Kelley doesn’t start off right without a workout and espresso.
