Tyler Sikes is the new deputy director of the FAS Heartland Acquisition Center. He assumed the role in February after previously leading the center’s Supply Operations Branch.

Tyler fills the role vacated by Janet Schweer upon her promotion to FAS deputy regional commissioner in November 2021. In this new capacity, he will assist Director Teresa McCarthy in day-to-day operations and long-term strategic planning for the center.

What do you look forward to most about this new position? 

I look forward to continuing to work with our center, senior leadership, and other stakeholders building and maintaining value-add solutions for our customers. We have a great team with amazing amounts of knowledge in their respective areas. Working with leadership to help direct the overall strategy of the center to utilize the abilities of our team to deliver these solutions is going to be very exciting!

How do you think your previous experience has prepared you for the new role?

I got the opportunity to oversee a branch within the center in my previous role. Working with the extremely talented team members in my branch, and helping to coordinate our efforts with other areas to meet and exceed the goals of the center, and the organization as a whole has helped me to gain perspective on the things that can be accomplished through effective collaboration. 

Anything else you’d like to share? 

I’m looking forward to learning as much as I can from our knowledgeable subject matter experts — both inside and outside of our center — and am excited to get started!
