Meet Our Team

Dawn Young-Bermudez

President / Founding Partner

Dawn Young-Bermudez is the founder, owner and president of Intelliforce-IT Solutions Group, LLC.  She combines over 20 years of computer science and business experience, while mostly supporting the DoD over that time.  With a caring, creative and proactive philosophy toward her approach to life and business, she is happiest when nurturing and supporting her family, her team and her customers. 

After receiving her Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Science from Loyola College of MD, she started her career as a software engineer, specializing in modelling and simulations of wartime exercises.  Soon after, she stood up a computer science program for a U.S. Embassy School (Grades K through 12) that didn’t exist previously, which included purchasing the computer hardware and training the staff.  Over time, finding that she enjoyed training and helping people, as well as growing initiatives from the ground up, she moved toward her natural love of business. Today, growing Intelliforce, supporting her Intelliforce family and contributing to the success of the customer mission is her greatest hobby (along with traveling with family and friends, too)!
