Brock Panos is a battle-tested leader, accomplished entrepreneur, and seasoned government business strategist who has dedicated his life to mission-driven service. From commanding Marines in operational environments to founding and scaling a federal contracting firm, Brock’s career is a powerful narrative of discipline, foresight, and service to a greater cause. With over a decade of experience in military leadership and federal market expertise, he now stands at the intersection of national security, public sector innovation, and entrepreneurial growth—helping both emerging and established organizations navigate the complexities of government engagement.
Brock’s journey began with the United States Marine Corps, where he rose through the ranks from Vehicle Commander to Assistant Battalion Gunner with the 3rd Battalion, 4th Marines. In these formative roles, he managed large-scale training operations for up to 800 Marines and oversaw sensitive telecommunications equipment valued in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. His leadership was not only technical and tactical, but also profoundly human—rooted in an unshakable sense of responsibility for the Marines under his command. His time in uniform shaped his enduring commitment to operational excellence, strategic clarity, and ethical leadership.
Following a medical retirement from the Marine Corps, Brock made a seamless transition to civilian leadership by founding Patritac LLC, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) committed to supporting active duty service members and veterans. As President, he has grown the firm into a trusted partner within the federal procurement space, with capabilities spanning hardware distribution, consulting, and government business development. Under his direction, Patritac became a verified SDVOSB and achieved SBA recognition—key credentials that affirm both the company’s credibility and its commitment to mission-aligned outcomes.
At Patritac, Brock’s leadership reflects a rare combination of grit and strategic thinking. He has successfully navigated the government contracting ecosystem, winning contracts, managing compliance, and building long-standing relationships with federal agencies. His work includes leading business development efforts for a top-performing General Services Administration (GSA) reseller with over $100 million in annual revenue. His ability to translate complex government systems into actionable strategies for business growth positions him as a pivotal advisor for companies entering or scaling within the federal market.
Brock’s expertise also extends to supplier acquisition and vertical market expansion. As a Sales Consultant for GSAMart/TestMart, he drove partner acquisition across emerging markets, advised on government-wide acquisition contracts (GWACs), and played a key role in shaping the company’s strategic supplier network. In this role, he demonstrated a deep understanding of both the bureaucratic and relationship-driven nature of government sales—bringing technical insight, regulatory expertise, and long-term vision to each engagement.
In parallel to his work in business development, Brock serves as the Regional Director of Business Development for Wireless Tower Solutions, where he is spearheading the company’s expansion into new market territories. This ongoing role highlights his ability to develop and implement scalable strategies while balancing the demands of executive leadership, client development, and operational oversight. His work continues to influence how mid-size enterprises enter highly regulated and complex market environments.
Brock’s career is marked not only by professional achievements but also by a steadfast personal mission: to deliver superior products and services that enhance the lives of those in uniform. This mission-driven approach informs every aspect of his leadership—from contract negotiations and supplier management to internal team development and client consultation. He believes in creating real value for government customers and the warfighters they support, maintaining a level of quality and accountability that reflects his military heritage.
Internationally, Brock brings a seasoned perspective with exposure to markets in the European Union, Southeast Asia, and Australia. These experiences have deepened his global business acumen and broadened his understanding of international defense and security collaboration. While English is his primary language, his operational experience across continents reflects a cultural fluency and adaptability critical for modern business leaders working in the public sector.
Beyond his professional life, Brock is passionate about the outdoors, hands-on craftsmanship, and restoring classic automobiles. These hobbies echo the same patience, precision, and pride in workmanship that define his leadership style. He views business as both a craft and a calling—an opportunity to build, repair, and innovate in ways that serve others and leave a lasting impact.
