Dr. Lawrence began his career as an R&D Program Manager with the United States Air Force. In 1974, he was an Air Force Nominee for America's Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Year. By 1975, he was the Air Force Program Manager for Energy Conversion Research within the Air Force Office of Scientific Research. In the summer of 1975, he left the Air Force and was one of the first executives selected to manage the R&D programs of the Energy Research and Development Administration, the precursor to the Department of Energy. In 1977, Dr. Lawrence became the Director, Energy Conservation Research at the Gas Research Institute (GRI), and played a major role in initiating that organization. He headed all End-Use Research and Development with the responsibility for approximately 1/2 of the total R&D contract dollars of GRI. From 1977 to 1979, as a GRI executive, he represented the Gas Industry's end-use R&D interests in testimony before the United States Congress.
In 1979, Dr. Lawrence became Director, Technical Development, for Mechanical Technology Incorporated (MTI), a high technology corporation with some 850 employees. He soon became a Vice President of the Corporation reporting to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Between 1980 and 1987, Dr. Lawrence was the program development manager for more than $100M in federal contract dollars within the company. During those years, he routinely testified before the Congress and developed the strategy for successful major contract acquisitions within the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, NASA and the Gas Research Institute.
Since 1986, Dr. Lawrence has been the President and CEO of Bob Lawrence & Associates, leading the growth and development of this service corporation. In this role, he has served a wide variety of corporate and government interests in the Washington, DC area.
