Lt. Col. John Nikiforakis serves as the product manager for the Army Training Information System (ATIS) at U.S. Army Capability Program Executive Enterprise Software and Services (CPE ES2). In this role, he is responsible for the material development of ATIS, providing Soldiers and leaders with a single Army enterprise capability to manage, schedule, develop, report and deliver Army training.   


Before assuming his role at ATIS, Nikiforakis served as the division chief for Data Links at the National Reconnaissance Office in Chantilly, Virginia, where he managed classified programs within the intelligence community.

Nikiforakis’ first assignment following armor school was as a platoon leader in the 4th Squadron, 10th Cavalry “Buffalo Soldiers.” During that assignment, he deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel. Upon redeployment, he took command of Comanche Troop, 4th Squadron, 10th Cavalry at Fort Carson, Colorado.  


Nikiforakis earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the Virginia Military Institute and a master’s degree in project management from Georgetown University.
