Colturi directs the delivery of software design and development capabilities for modernizing, deploying, and operating mission-critical applications. Under his leadership, the FMSS Business Unit provides systems design and development, software delivery best practices, and best-of-breed solutions for modernizing legacy systems.

"The FMSS team's experience spans all aspects of the systems development life cycle making major technology programs successful," said Colturi.
