MCLEAN, VA, June 24, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Alfred Rebara has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Rebara has carved a distinguished career in the defense and communications sectors, which is marked by his current role as vice president of business development and C5ISR (command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) at Noble. Since joining the company in 2024 as the senior director of business development of CBRNE (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives), he has been instrumental in advancing Noble's mission to provide rapid acquisition hardware and software solutions for the Department of Defense and other government entities. His leadership in communications, intelligence and surveillance has positioned Noble as a thought leader in tactical communications.

As vice president, Mr. Rebara oversees a team that interacts directly with government entities, including program executive offices and the program managers within those offices. His team engages with these stakeholders to identify their technology needs and operational gaps. When problems that require technological solutions arise, they assist government clients in finding appropriate vendors while also helping vendors connect with potential customers. Mr. Rebara provides leadership to his team and informs the company about trends in tactical hardware and technology within the DOD, ensuring that Noble remains relevant in the tactical communications space and can strategize effectively for marketing.

Mr. Rebara's business development efforts involve direct engagement with government program managers who are responsible for procuring specific hardware or solution sets. He builds strong, trusting relationships with these individuals, allowing them to rely on him for quality solutions. Noble positions itself as an entity closely aligned with edge solutions, proactively identifying potential gaps in government needs. They present innovative solutions to the government before they are even aware of these gaps. Their approach is forward-thinking, and they aim to supplement the government with fresh ideas.

Before his tenure at Noble, Mr. Rebara honed his expertise at Persistent Systems, a leader in tactical communications and mobile ad hoc networking. After joining the company in 2021 as the director of business development for the Army, his dedication and strategic acumen led to his promotion to team lead and vice president. In 2020, Mr. Rebara held concurrent roles as a technical consultant at M3 Defense Consulting and an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) training consultant. His consulting work drew on his deep expertise in EOD, with a focus on CBRNE threats. Leveraging his background in robotics, he advised on drone technologies, supported government drone initiatives and briefly collaborated with FEMA's Domestic Emergency Support Team. His projects included clearing tunnels for a government operation in the desert and supporting the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in Ukraine—an effort paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr. Rebara first ventured into consulting at Tier Tech International, where he served as an independent consultant from 2018 to 2019. This was preceded by a three-year tenure at Roboteam, an innovative robotics manufacturer known for its backpackable unmanned systems. He joined the company in 2015 as the director of ground robotics and was promoted to vice president of sales in 2017, remaining in the latter role until 2018.

A two-time recipient of the Bronze Star Medal, Mr. Rebara's career is deeply rooted in his extensive military service. He served in the United States Army for 23 years as a bomb disposal technician, with 16 years overseas. After enlisting in 1992 as an infantryman, he steadily rose through the ranks to ultimately become a first sergeant. His most notable achievement was leading an EOD unit in combat and ensuring every one of his soldiers returned home safely. To him, this represents the highest measure of success—one rooted in rigorous preparation, professional care and unwavering leadership. The safe return of his team stands as a testament to the quality of their training and the deep responsibility he felt for their well-being. Among all his accomplishments, it is those deployments—and the lives safeguarded—that bring him the greatest pride.

Mr. Rebara's academic achievements include a bachelor's degree in military history from Southern New Hampshire University, where he was recognized as a Distinguished Scholar, and an Associate of Arts in business administration and management from the University of Maryland Global Campus. His dedication to excellence is further evidenced by his membership in organizations such as the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Alpha Sigma Lambda Tau. The United States Bomb Technician Association, the International Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators, and the National Explosive Ordnance Disposal Association.

Mr. Rebara attributes his success to a deep respect for people and the power of collaboration. He is committed to building high-performing teams by identifying and nurturing talent, fostering cohesion and empowering those around him. Grounded in humility, he never loses sight of his roots and recognizes that leadership is not about being the smartest person in the room, but about listening, learning and leveraging the strengths of others. Mr. Rebara actively seeks diverse perspectives and values constructive dissent, believing it is essential for innovation and growth. While he welcomes dialogue and differing viewpoints, he also embraces the responsibility of making decisive choices. He firmly believes that surrounding oneself with honest, trustworthy individuals is critical to avoiding blind spots and ensuring long-term success.

Looking ahead, Mr. Rebara envisions stepping into roles of greater responsibility and broader organizational influence. Confident in his strategic mindset and leadership capabilities, he is prepared to guide an enterprise from the C-suite, driving growth and innovation at a holistic level. His ambition is to move beyond managing individual functions and instead shape the broader direction of a company.

Mr. Rebara's path reflects a steadfast commitment to perseverance, preparation, and growth. Despite starting with only a high school diploma, he rose to senior leadership in the defense industry and earned a significant academic degree at the age of 52. As he often says, "Luck is the intersection of opportunity and preparation." Outside of his professional life, Mr. Rebara is a devoted husband and father to five boys, who are the center of his world. His wife, Emer, works at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, DC. He remains committed to his health and well-being, with a personal goal of staying strong enough to play catch with his youngest son for many years to come.
