Adrienne Somerville is the founder and CEO of Talent and Technical Solutions Corporation. Since retiring from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), she has built a company with nationwide impact, developing career roadmaps for approximately 36,000 technical workers across eight states.

Her expertise benefits the U.S. Navy, as Commander Fleet Readiness Centers’ director of aviation support equipment—the latest step in a career supporting the centers in its business operations strategies and managing maintenance programs for massive, state-of-the-art naval fleets.

Educated at Harvard and Georgetown, Somerville’s impact and service don’t end when her workday does. Motivated by lasting lessons her grandmother imparted, Somerville created The Carolyn E. Parker Foundation.

Her organization’s goals include supporting the elderly, educating youth, feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, and restoring the impoverished.

Logging nearly 6,000 community hours herself, her foundation’s accomplishments include the ongoing Project Cinderella, training on overcoming cyberbullying, financial management, self-defense, and Project Warm.

“As a pastor, I can testify that the results of the foundation’s hard work are visible within the community and touching many lives,” said Michael G. Taylor, chief operating officer of Talent & Technical Solutions Corporation.

In 2020, Somerville won the President's Award at the Women of Color (WOC) STEM Conference. She was one of nine civilians from the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) who earned awards for technical contributions and exceptional achievements in their fields.

This year, she was presented with Community Service Award at the 2022 WOC STEM Conference. She also counts the Maryland Governor’s Outstanding Award for Community Service, Heroines of Washington, DC Award, and George Bush Foundation’s Point of Day Award among her many honors.
