Member Spotlight: Building a Framework of Trust With Kayla Hutson

When you ask Kayla Hutson what drives her work, one word comes up again and again: trust.

As Manager of PMO Operations at DLT Solutions, Kayla leads the team responsible for ensuring partners have a clear, compliant path to market. Her group manages the full lifecycle of DLT’s federal contract vehicles, helping partners navigate complex procurement requirements so they can stay focused on what matters most: supporting their customers and growing their business.

Kayla’s team serves as a neutral, trusted resource within DLT. From smaller resellers new to the public sector to large, established organizations, every partner receives the same level of care, attention and expertise. In a highly regulated environment where compliance is mission-critical, Kayla’s team takes a meticulous approach to safeguarding partners from risk and helping them move forward with confidence.

“Our job is to make sure everything is done right,” Kayla explains. “That means protecting our partners from compliance pitfalls and giving them the clarity they need to succeed.”

From onboarding new resellers to supporting long-standing partners, Kayla’s team provides full lifecycle support. This includes hands-on guidance, process optimization and helping partners identify ways to leverage DLT’s contract portfolio more effectively. The result is tangible: expanded access to federal opportunities, faster speed to market and greater confidence in a competitive space.

Outside of work, Kayla is an avid reader of psychological thrillers and a devoted dog mom to Charlie Walter. Both reflect qualities she brings to her role every day — curiosity, patience and the ability to think a few steps ahead. Just as she enjoys anticipating plot twists on the page, Kayla applies the same mindset professionally, staying ahead of evolving trends, shifting buyer behavior and emerging IT innovations.

What ultimately defines Kayla’s approach, however, is her commitment to building a Framework of Trust. Her team isn’t driven by quotas or vendor preferences, but by the belief that consistency, transparency and reliability matter. When questions arise, partners know they’ll get a straight answer — or a clear path to the right one.

In a market where trust is everything, that steady presence makes Kayla and her team a valuable ally for partners looking to grow with confidence.
