Sworn in on Sept. 22, 2025, Ingraham serves as the Army acquisition executive and senior procurement executive, overseeing a $170 billion portfolio across more than 550 Army acquisition programs.

He also is the science adviser to the secretary to the Army and the service’s senior research and development official. He most recently performed the duties of deputy undersecretary of war for acquisition and sustainment.

Before joining federal service in 2010, Ingraham worked in the automotive industry as a powertrain engineer, responsible for the development and production of domestic and international powertrain systems, while playing a principal role in forming global automotive partnerships, according to his Army bio.

Since being sworn in, Ingraham has been heavily involved in the Army’s transformation efforts, including the restructuring of the service’s program executive offices into six Portfolio Acquisition Executives, or PAEs, to more quickly deliver new, emerging capabilities.

Each PAE will own a comprehensive capability area, including fires, maneuver ground, maneuver air and command and control and counter-command and control.

“Under the current fragmented process, accountability is distributed across multiple organizations and functions, creating misalignment between critical stakeholders,” Ingraham said last fall. “Aligning this reform with operational concepts better postures the Army to deliver capabilities our soldiers need without delay.”
