“We have been at the forefront of training the nation’s soldiers (both in the classroom and in the field) as they prepare to successfully deploy and execute their critical missions,” Martore said.

The company began offering not only logistics and financial management services, but also environmental and engineering programs, healthcare analytics, management consulting and technology tools and solutions. Under Martore’s leadership, CALIBRE expanded its clientele to include multiple federal civil agencies, commercial business and the intelligence community. CALIBRE provided critical logistics and cost information to combatant commanders across the globe. When he joined in 2004, CALIBRE focused almost exclusively on serving the Defense Department. When the previous CEO retired, Martore was promoted to CEO.ĭuring his 15 years with CALIBRE, he saw the company grow fourfold and increase its share value nearly eightfold. Three years later, Martore was tapped as chief operations officer, then president of CALIBRE. SMI soon joined CALIBRE as a separate division, bringing along the entire management team and staff. “We began to talk with CALIBRE and quickly recognized that CALIBRE operated with a set of values and a culture that were very similar to what we fostered at SMI.” “While we were not looking to sell the company, we did receive some offers,” he said. After SMI was twice named to the Inc 500 list of fastest-growing privately held companies, Martore and his business partner began considering their next steps. Martore came to CALIBRE by way of Strategic Management Initiatives, a company he co-founded after several years in federal government and commercial nuclear utility consulting. He also currently chairs CALIBRE’s board of directors. Now semi-retired, Martore recently spoke with WashingtonExec about the growth of CALIBRE during his tenure as well as his current focus on board and volunteer work, and the woman-owned company through which he provides consulting services. Former CALIBRE CEO Joe Martore left a string of accolades and a generation of up-and-coming leaders in the wake of his nearly 40 years in government contracting.
