WORKFORCE
TRANSITION OF POWER

“Every day there is something new to learn about the infinite world of data and data management, as well as how our system interacts with our trading partners and how we ensure that the user experience is optimal.”
and peers,” he said. “And I think that is the key to our ability to deliver capabilities— some of them are very hard. Te work is challenging and it’s not always clear-cut, but I’ve never seen us say ‘no.’ We always try to forge ahead to create a capability that the Soldier can use, and that’s what resonates with me the most.”
And despite his 12-year tenure at PEO EIS, Gohil said he’s still constantly learning. “People think that being a product lead means you have (most of) the answers. But every day there is something new to learn about the infinite world of data and data management, as well as how our system interacts with our trading partners and how we ensure that the user experience is optimal,” he said. “Success in this role
hinges on my consistent ability and will- ingness to learn new and different things that create the ‘big picture’ of Army data and how to use it in the best ways.”
When he gives advice to junior acquisi- tion teammates, he encourages them to keep learning, as well. “You’re here to learn about acquisition and not the tech- nical side of what we deliver. Remember to focus on cost, schedule and perfor- mance rather than the technical details of the solution like infrastructure and data management, even though it’s hard not to get wrapped up in that. Stay in your lane to learn the business end of what we do. Understanding the technical stuff will naturally come along with it.” Gohil is also a big advocate for developmental
assignments, having first arrived at AESIP Hub for what was supposed to be a short- term role. “I absolutely recommend them! I also will say there is never a good time to leave a job you know and love in order to venture into the unknown of such an assignment—but take the chance. You never know whom you might meet and where it might take you.”
Perhaps it’s not surprising that a young man who backpacked through a foreign country as a teen would still urge others to venture off the beaten path, even if it’s a bit uncomfortable. Taking a chance on the unknown is kind of his trademark.
