SABG proudly congratulates Chief Operating Officer Ellen Loney on being named to the 2026 Engage Defense Innovation 150 list by OrangeSlices AI, a recognition that celebrates leaders who are driving meaningful impact across the defense industry.

Ellen has been part of SABG since 2016, playing a pivotal role in guiding the company through a period of explosive growth. Her leadership has been central to SABG’s reputation as a trusted advisor to our customers, ensuring that every solution is proactive, tailored, and mission-focused.

Known for her servant-leader approach, Ellen leads with integrity, commitment, and a dedication to elevating those around her. She is equally comfortable driving strategic vision as she is quietly working behind the scenes—always focused on creating the conditions for her teams and customers to succeed.

This recognition is a reflection not only of her accomplishments, but of the countless people she has empowered along the way.”

Ellen’s recognition by OrangeSlices AI highlights not only her contributions to SABG, but also her role in strengthening the defense ecosystem through collaboration, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
