Abe Dorph

President, Aspire Systems & Consulting, LLC

Abe is an experienced executive, operations strategist, and systems analyst with a proven record of driving large-scale organizational improvements across the healthcare and defense sectors.

Executive Leadership & Healthcare Operations: Previously, Abe was in charge of hospitals within the OhioHealth System, where he directed its Operational Excellence program. He is a recognized expert in Lean Six Sigma methodologies, having secured pivotal buy-in from C-suite executives (including CEOs and CFOs) and resulted in $500 million in delivered, documented process improvements for annual reports.

Defense & Systems Analysis: Abe possesses extensive background in military and defense operations. Beginning in 2010, he served as a deployed Operations Research and Systems Analyst (ORSA), providing direct analytical support to the Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) Special Operations branch. Through Aspire Systems & Consulting, he continues to work heavily within the defense and manufacturing sectors. For Counter-small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (group I and II) Abe developed several methodologies and analytical toolsets used to successfully counter threat drones and the networks that deploy them.  He continues to develop new C-sUAS techniques to include efforts to “Move Left of Launch” – preventing threat drones from ever getting to the point when they can take to the sky. To address the need to build, design, and maintain sUAS, Abe used his manufacturing expertise and developed a “Design and Manufacture at Speed and Scale” (DAMAS²) in his technical white papers.
