Stewart led Veterans Affairs Department efforts to improved communications and transform its relationship with suppliers.

Maurice “Mo” Stewart, who just retired as associate deputy assistant secretary for logistics and supply chain management at the Veterans Affairs Department, has joined The Ambit Group, the company announced Sept. 12.

Stewart now will be vice president of business solutions at the IT management firm. In his new position, he will be responsible for mentoring and leading the business development team, with a focus on sales, capture management and proposal development.
