Chief Growth Officer, BlueHalo
James Batt is responsible for BlueHalo’s overall corporate development, leading business development, strategy and R&D investments to expand the company’s space, directed energy, missile defense and cyber and intelligence capabilities through innovative services, products and solutions.
Since BlueHalo’s launch in 2020, he has developed a high-growth strategy and focused business development on meeting mission-critical needs and national security and defense challenges. Combining the company’s broad innovation capabilities and products with transformational opportunities has enabled the company to deliver year-over-year double-digit growth and significant new contract awards, such as the recent $1.4 billion Space Force contract to provide best-in-class satellite operations capabilities.
“Identifying our key strategies and focusing all of our growth activities on these areas has been critical to our success and momentum,” Batt said. “But the real differentiating factor is our team and the way they embrace and come together to execute on these strategies. We have all embraced this ethos of driving technological innovation and transforming our mission, and I am honored to be a part of this team. “

Batt has more than 30 years of industry experience successfully applying key business development strategies, including opportunity pipeline management, go-to-market strategies, and merger integration, to achieve commercial success in the national security and defense markets. He’s already shown early success with BlueHalo. With the company’s ability to quickly leverage private equity capital resources, create an agile infrastructure, and apply a hypergrowth strategy, Batt will propel BlueHalo into the foreseeable future as a top choice for alternatives to non-traditional industries.
“BlueHalo’s impressive double-digit organic growth is no luck,” said BlueHalo CEO Jonathan Moneymaker. “James has been critical to our entry into key growth markets, and we have been methodical and aligned in our focus and investments. Because of this, BlueHalo is building an enduring, disruptive platform capable of delivering key technologies and services to address our nation’s near-equal and asymmetric threats.”
