About Random Sample Consulting
We've Lived the Mission—Now We Help You Win It
Random Sample Consulting was founded by Brian Sample, a retired Defense Intelligence Agency Senior Executive Service leader with 25+ years of proven operational excellence at the highest levels of national security.
Our Founder's Background
Brian brings enterprise-scale leadership experience few consultants can match. As a DIA Senior Executive, he:
Managed global operations with 350+ staff across 30+ international locations and an $80M+ portfolio
Served as de facto COO for multiple directorates, including Chief of Staff for a 3,000-person organization with a $100M+ budget
Led the award of the $10B+ SIA 3 contract with zero protests—a large intelligence community acquisition
Integrated AI/ML workflows across 30+ sites worldwide, cutting operational cycle times
Provided direct intelligence support to the White House, NSC, and international allies
Managed the DoD-wide GALE ELINT program, coordinating analysts and contractors on a $15M annual software development program
From directing global technical operations to representing senior leadership with allied nations, Brian has operated at the intersection of strategy, technology, and execution in the world's most complex environments.
Our Mission
We help small-to-mid GovTech, dual-use and intel contractors punch above their weight by bringing Fortune-500 operational rigor to growing companies. Most consultants guess at what government buyers want. We know because we were the buyers, the program managers, and the senior executives making the decisions.
Our Values
Integrity – Classified or not, the standard never drops
Mission before ego – We succeed when you succeed
Data-driven candor – We tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear
Knowledge transfer – We build your internal capability so you're stronger after we roll off
How We Charge
At Random Sample Consulting, we believe great partnerships begin with clarity and adaptability. Our pricing is structured to meet your operational and strategic needs—from winning your next major contract to evaluating whether the government will actually buy your technology.
We offer several flexible engagement models:
Capture & Contract Strategy Fixed-fee and retainer-based support for pursuing and winning federal contracts. From pipeline development to proposal submission, we guide you through protest-free awards that stick.
Technology Assessment & M&A Due Diligence Project-based evaluations that tell companies and investors whether the DoD or IC will actually buy specific innovations. Essential for investment decisions and market entry strategy.
Strategic Advisory Retainers Ongoing access to senior executive insight for founders, CEOs, or leadership teams navigating federal market growth, technology roadmaps, or major acquisition opportunities.
