Red Duke Strategies

What Red Duke Strategies does

Red Duke Strategies, LLC (RDS) is a privately held service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) founded in 2015 and headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The firm operates as a professional services and strategic consulting company rather than a software product company, delivering expertise across four service lines: Strategic Planning and Program Oversight, Business Process Engineering, Communications and Outreach, and Data Integration Management.

RDS serves federal government agencies — primarily the VA, VHA, DoD, and adjacent health programs — and private healthcare organizations seeking to enter or scale within federal markets. Engagements center on healthcare innovation, veteran services, behavioral health, value-based care, and energy and environmental security. Notable engagements include program oversight for the VA Office of Healthcare Innovation and Learning (OHIL), strategic advisory to Sharecare's CareLinx platform on VA Community Care network entry (resulting in over 1 million hours of home care delivered to Veterans), and federal policy support to Vytalize Health on the ACO REACH Model.

The company generates revenue through professional services engagements, likely structured as time-and-materials or firm-fixed-price federal contracts accessed via SDVOSB procurement pathways, GWACs, and direct contract awards. RDS pursues business through direct federal sales, stakeholder relationships, conference presence (e.g., Lake Nona Impact Forum, NASW events), and thought leadership content on its RDS Insights blog. Its leadership team includes former senior VA and DoD executives, former White House staff, and senior military officers, which functions as the primary source of competitive differentiation.
