David S. Kemp serves as the Program Executive Office for Manpower Logistics and Business Solutions’ (PEO MLB) Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) Director since December 2021. RRL is the Navy’s program to modernize its institutional training system to improve individual Sailor performance and enhance Fleet readiness.

As RRL Director, Mr. Kemp leads the technical activities for the planning, development, deployment, integration and sustainment of RRL systems and solutions that support the Navy’s initiatives to improve and modernize personnel and training management systems and provide the Navy with a more agile and talented workforce that is complementary to the modernization programs of ships, aircraft and other combat systems. He oversees the acquisition and development of a training ecosystem that will transition our current training model to modern training solutions delivered at the point-of-need to better prepare Sailors to operate and maintain equipment at its technological limits and meet rapidly evolving warfighting requirements.

Mr. Kemp retired from the Navy in 2021 as a Captain after 30 years of service. His final active duty assignment was serving as the Chief of Naval Personnel’s Transformation Director and Chief Strategist where he was responsible for modernizing the Navy’s 40-year-old Human Resource (HR) IT systems and 70-year-old HR processes.
