Wayne Sok became the product lead for Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions (CHESS) on July 10, 2019, after previously serving as the program’s deputy. CHESS, which falls under the Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS), supports the Army’s Information Technology (IT) objectives by managing the development and implementation of IT contracts that provide commercial off-the-shelf hardware, software and support services. As product lead, Sok leads the team responsible for establishing and maintaining no-fee, flexible contracts through which Army customers may procure IT hardware, software and services via an e-commerce (IT e-mart) based process.
