œRevenue growth in the fourth quarter was broad-based, across each of our client categories. Revenue from government clients increased 22 percent, driven by our disaster recovery work for state and local government clients, said Sudhakar Kesavan, chairman and CEO of ICF.
œAt the same time, our year-end business development pipeline increased to over $5.8B, representing a year-over-year increase of 38 percent, added Kesavan, a 2019 Wash100 winner.
John Wasson, president and chief operating officer of ICF, said during the earnings call Tuesday that the company is seeing growth opportunities in the cybersecurity market both in civilian and defense sectors as the government increases its spending on cyber-related work.
Wasson also mentioned the cyber contracts the company won from the U.S. Air Force and Army Research Laboratory in the past year.
