Priya Dalwadi
CFO, B/CORE
Since joining B/CORE, Priya Dalwadi has built the company’s finance and accounting function from the ground up. She has recently been integrating five companies, each with disparate financial systems, accounting practices and processes, into one unified, AI-enabled finance organization.
By leveraging technology, automation and disciplined financial management, Dalwadi and her team built a scalable foundation that moves B/CORE beyond historical reporting to forward-looking insights that drive faster, more informed decisions. This transformation has positioned finance as a strategic partner in B/CORE’s growth, helping Dalwadi’s team anticipate business needs and align investments and resources with mission outcomes.
“Finance doesn’t deliver the mission, but it decides how much mission we can deliver,” Dalwadi said. “My team turned five acquired companies into one platform, and every efficiency we create becomes more talent, more capability and more speed for the people B/CORE puts on mission. They do the hard part; our job is to make sure nothing behind them slows them down.”
B/CORE is also helping government customers make more proactive, informed decisions by delivering greater visibility into program performance, funding and resource requirements. Dalwadi and her team help program leaders understand not only where they stand today, but how decisions will impact mission delivery tomorrow. This allows them to anticipate needs, optimize resources and align investments with mission outcomes.
Why Watch
In 2026, Dalwadi and her team are focused on redefining what a modern finance organization can deliver by embedding AI into core processes, applying it where it creates value while maintaining rigorous standards for data integrity and accuracy.
They are moving beyond reporting where the business has been to anticipating where it’s going, turning complex financial information into actionable insights for leaders at every level. Their goal is to make finance a forward-looking strategic function that enables smarter investments, greater agility and better mission outcomes.
“Most finance teams report where the numbers have been,” said Chad Kim, B/CORE CEO. “Priya shows where they are going. She has embedded AI into the core of our finance operations, transforming complex financial data into forward-looking insights that enable faster, smarter decisions at every level of B/CORE. Her ability to anticipate what’s next and connect business investments to mission outcomes is exactly the kind of leadership our national security industry needs.”
Fun fact: For Dalwadi, finance is truly a family affair. Her father owns a CPA firm where her husband also works, so accounting and finance are part of just about every aspect of her life. “You could say numbers run in the family!” Dalwadi said.
