Bruce Almquist

Bruce serves as the Senior Vice President and General Counsel for CAES. He is responsible for leading a team that provides practical contract, compliance (other than U.S. Government Contracting) and legal support for the company. With over 30 years of experience, mostly in-house, Bruce has a unique combination of experience in multiple areas including U.S government contracts, commercial contracts, outsourcing, international law and compliance and providing pragmatic counsel to senior executives of FTSE 250 and Fortune 500 companies.

Prior to joining CAES, Bruce spent 18 years at Electronic Data Systems (EDS), an IT services company, which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2009. While at EDS, Bruce started as an outsourcing lawyer, became responsible for legal support to its health care unit, moved to England to be responsible for legal support to its Europe, Middle East and Africa business and returned to the US to be responsible for legal support to its US Government business. While in England, Bruce transformed the stove piped, disparate country legal functions into a centralized, single budget EMEA legal function aligned to US contracting principles and, while supporting the US Government business, was instrumental in leading the legal efforts that supported a multiyear effort to turnaround EDS’ contract with the US Navy for its intranet.

Bruce holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in public policy studies from Duke University and Juris Doctorate degree from University of Tulsa.
