American Systems has hired Kristen Murphy as vice president of capture management.

She’ll oversee processes, personnel and procedures for identifying and winning new business opportunities, the company said.

Murphy joins American Systems from ManTech International where she was director of capture management. She also held similar posts at Computer Sciences Corp. and MTC Technologies.

At American Systems, she’ll support delivery, business development, pricing and proposal organizations. Murphy will drive bid strategies, competitive analyses, pricing strategies and business case development, the company said.
