​After taking over as Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO) director in June, Gregory Wagner set specific goals for the organization he now leads – make DSO the Department of Defense center of excellence for electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) capabilities, services, and operations. 

Wagner is moving to achieve that goal through greater collaboration with DSO’s mission partners. 

To demonstrate his commitment to his cause, the DSO director is encouraging mission partners to provide input and constructive criticism on ways DSO can better help them achieve their missions. 

“Tell me what you think about the services and capabilities DSO provided you in the past. How are they working for you? Tell me what I should be doing to address your concerns and what I should be focusing on to help you,” Wagner said.
