The Edwards Difference

People, Culture, & Education (PC&E)


Our PC&E Department encompasses HR, Recruiting, Training, and Culture & Engagement.

We understand that employees who are engaged from the start are more likely to stay, and are happy, motivated, and committed. Culture and engagement is infused into everything we do. Our employees are the reason we succeed; extending the reach of our Core Values and Vision and Commitment Statement.

Employee Focus


People are our strength! More than a tagline, this tenet defines how we value our team members.

We cultivate an atmosphere encouraging comradery and engagement events that speak to our employee’s interests, creating a fun environment to flourish as individuals and teams. We also recognize and reward the diverse talents and rich experiences that make our employees the best at what they do!

Career Growth


We encourage employees to stay current on best practices in their field, dedicated to supporting their growth and professional memberships.

As part of our Employee Incentives Program, we support our employee’s professional development through conferences, workshops, and/or other training opportunities.  Employees are also eligible to receive a bonus for achieving select certifications.

Our History

Founded in 1997, Edwards Performance Solutions was the brainchild of Steve Edwards. Although cliché, he began the business in his home and then moved to the first official office in Columbia, MD by 2004.

He originally envisioned Edwards (then Edwards Industries) as a systems engineering firm, but quickly discovered his customer’s true need (and his expertise) resided in a solid program and project management discipline. Steve first met Edwards’ current President and CEO, Gina Abate while teaching a Microsoft Training course. They kept in touch; and when Steve was looking to expand, Gina came to mind as a natural fit for his growing organization.

Today, Edwards supports both government and commercial customers specializing in Enterprise Management, IT Solutions, Training & Development, and Cybersecurity. “At the end of the day, our people are the reason we succeed,” states Gina, “without their expertise we could not provide such dynamic solutions for our customers.”

Edwards is an equal opportunity employer. Edwards provides equal employment opportunity to all individuals regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by state, federal, or local law.
