The Business of Defense

About The Business of Defense

The U.S. defense industry is large, complex, and competitive. It is also lucrative for those companies able to navigate it successfully. The Society of Defense Financial Management (SDFM), formerly known as American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC), helps to bridge the gap between the boardroom and the battlefield, while supporting transformation in the defense sector. “The Business of Defense” Podcast brings you inside the companies working to achieve this, to hear directly from the business leaders, and to understand how they create value for their companies and their customers.
