Category: Private Citizen — Corporate Director / Non-Executive Board Chair Role: Non-Executive Chair of the Board, Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation (BAH) Board Tenure: 2014 – present (Chair since 2023) Committee Memberships: Chair of the Board (ex-officio all committees); Compensation Committee Profile Type: Board Member Accountability — Anchor B (Documented Organizational Leadership)

> Basis for Inclusion: Mark E. Gaumond holds the highest governance role at Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation as Non-Executive Chair of the Board. Booz Allen Hamilton is a major defense and government technology contractor deriving approximately 97% of its revenue from U.S. federal government contracts — primarily with defense and intelligence agencies. Booz Allen Hamilton made documented political donations to Trump-aligned entities while holding billions in federal government contracts whose renewal and expansion are directly influenced by presidential administration priorities and budget decisions. As Chair, Gaumond holds primary fiduciary responsibility for the corporation’s governance, strategic direction, and oversight of management. This profile documents the factual governance relationship, not the subject’s personal political views.

> Subject Classification: Private Citizen / Corporate Director. Board membership is a matter of public record (SEC filings, proxy statements). This profile documents only the governance role and its connection to documented corporate political activity.

> What is NOT the basis for inclusion: Gaumond’s personal political opinions, party affiliation, public statements, or any protected speech are NOT the basis for inclusion. The basis is solely the documented directorial role and its fiduciary connection to corporate political spending and government contracting documented in the parent corporate donor profile.

Biographical Overview

Mark E. Gaumond is an experienced corporate director and former senior executive whose career spanned audit, financial advisory, and management consulting services.
