Whit Kennon

As Chief Operating Officer of Intreped Partners, Whit’s role is to keep the company running smoothly, ensuring efficiency, growth, and top-tier service every step of the way.

He’s all about streamlining processes, driving operational excellence, and creating a collaborative, dynamic work culture. With a sharp eye for detail and a strategic mindset, Whit is helping shape Intreped’s future while keeping everything aligned with the company’s big-picture goals.

Whit brings more than 30 years of experience in consulting, government contracting, and aviation. Before joining Intreped, he spent 11 years as the Senior Director for Domestic Operations and then the last two years as Chief Operating Officer at Praetorian Standard, Inc., a Service-Disabled-Veteran-Owned-Small-Business (SDVOSB), where he led all domestic operations and built strong relationships with national clients. His expertise in both government and commercial sectors helped drive growth and manage large-scale projects, and he’s bringing that same know-how to Intreped to open new doors for the team.

Prior to that, Whit was Assistant Vice President for SAIC’s Homeland Security Support Division, where he managed multi-million-dollar contracts and played a key role in national security efforts. A natural leader, Whit is passionate about mentoring his teams and staying ahead of industry trends. His technical expertise and deep understanding of the competitive landscape give him the confidence and insight to steer Intreped toward long-term success.
