Mr. Miranda has worked for the U.S. Navy’s Naval Sea Systems Command — NAVSEA — for over thirty years.

With a fiscal year budget of nearly thirty billion, NAVSEA accounts for almost one quarter of the Navy's entire budget and is responsible for the design, construction, delivery, maintenance, and disposal of ships and associated systems.

In Mr. Miranda's current role as Senior Executive Service and Director of the Navy International Programs Office, he is now responsible for advancing international interoperability by managing technology security policies and Security Cooperation Programs.

Mr. Miranda leads the Department of the Navy Security Cooperation Enterprise to build global relationships and safeguard the transfer of U.S. Technology, working with allied navies managing a $14B portfolio.

His office manages combat system development for five allied navies for 12 new construction ships, planning for potentially 19 additional new construction ships for three nations and the munitions to outfit their Destroyers.

With a bachelors in Industrial Engineering from Wichita State University and an M.S. in Management and Contracts Management from Florida Institute of Technology, the Peruvian-born Mr. Miranda’s continued involvement as a Hispanic Leader within the NAVSEA workforce has increased the Hispanic Employee Resource Group membership by thirty percent in the past year.
