DIGITAL MARKET'S GERRY LEBEL: MASTER AT ELAS AND FUNDRAISING FOR USMA
As an acquisition specialist focusing on software agreements at PEO Enterprise, Gerry Lebel serves as the Digital Market team’s government lead for several key enterprise license agreements that provide critical software products to all Army Commands and several Department of War Combatant Commands. Lebel first joined the Digital Market team — formerly known as Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions — in 2019, following nearly six years of support for the enterprise licensing division at the once combined CIO/G-6 organization.
Earlier in his career, Lebel served for nearly 30 years in the U.S. Army after graduating from the U.S. Military Academy in 1975. He has been a huge champion for the academy, leading fundraising efforts to ensure that graduating cadets are prepared to meet the technological challenges of the future.
In 2015, Lebel was the fundraising chair for the Class of 1975 40th Reunion Gift, which raised $1.25 million for the Cadet Character Development Program endowment for the Simon Center for Professional Military Excellence. The main purpose of this endowment is to ensure West Point will continue to graduate leaders of character for the Army and the nation in perpetuity.
And as the fundraising campaign chair for the Class of 1975’s 50th Reunion Gift, Lebel and several classmates walked across the football field during a timeout in the Army Black Knights’ September 2025 game against North Texas, presenting to West Point leaders a symbolic check for more than $3 million they raised for the academy. According to Lebel, the funds will support the South Redoubt for the Goethals Hall Cyber Engineering and Academic Center, a new academic facility tentatively slated to open in fall 2026.
Besides supporting the academy financially, Lebel and his family have made a tradition of attending the annual Army-Navy game. He also has helped judge entries at regional high school science and engineering fairs, and he runs a National Football League Pick ‘Em football pool for co-workers, family and friends.
Lebel considers his PEO Enterprise teammates an important part of his six-year tenure at the organization.
“What I like best about working for Digital Market, first and foremost as with my 29+ years in the Army, are the people it has been my privilege to work with and for,” Lebel said, “and for the opportunity to contribute to the critical mission support PEO Enterprise provides to warfighters worldwide.”
