The Wash100 is a signature tradition from Executive Mosaic, the Capital region’s leading government contracting events, media and networking outfit. Every year, EM’s discerning voting body assembles an elite list of the 100 most impactful change-makers in GovCon. Comprised of C-suite executives, secret MVPs and distinguished public servants alike, the Wash100 is your guide to who is deciding the future direction of the market.
Wash100 winners often appear at Potomac Officers Club’s monthly summits, which tackle specific topics in the GovCon space. Don’t overlook our upcoming March 21st AI Summit or our April 17th CIO Summit. Both will give you the chance to ask respected officials from the Department of Defense and beyond your tough questions and to network with colleagues and competitors.
Corrigan has spent over 20 years with Noblis carefully architecting a leadership trajectory that has not coincidentally run parallel to the company’s expansion and strengthening. She began at the company right out of college and took the reins of the operation in late 2022.
“With more than two decades of experience at Noblis, Mile is intimately familiar with the company’s missions and goals, and she’s well-equipped to steer Noblis toward continued growth and success in the GovCon market,” issued Jim Garrettson, CEO of Executive Mosaic and founder of the Wash100 Award.
“Since Mile was elevated to CEO and president in October 2022, she has led Noblis to secure key contracts with customers like the Army, NGA, ARPA-H and more, and she has worked to further align the company with its core offerings, markets and partners. Her reliability and vision have earned her a second year of Wash100 recognition,” Garrettson continued.
As Garrettson suggests, Noblis’ track record since Corrigan’s most recent elevation has been chock full of success. In June of last year, the company won a five-year, $78 million contract from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency to deliver learning resources and services llike training platforms to the NGA College.
Soon after, in July, the company picked up a three-year, $82 million Department of Homeland Security award to conduct strategic planning, program support and operational management activities to the department’s Science and Technology Directorate.
“As a trusted source for R&D management solutions and guiding support to senior leadership, Noblis is ready from day one to help advance S&T’s mission-critical objectives and our nation’s security,” Corrigan commented.
These were followed by a September U.S. Army contract that tasks subsidiary Noblis MDS with providing engineering services for design, safety, quality assurance and integrated logistics for the service branch’s Product Manager Army Watercraft Systems. The contract is worth a potential $58 million over five years.
But contract awards are just one aspect of Noblis’ strategy under Corrigan, who seemingly envisions the company as more than the stereotypical associations one attaches to a not-for-profit organization. At the November Baird Government and Defense Conference, Corrigan led a session detailing the company’s many capabilities but expressed that they are “ready to make our next buy.” According to Corrigan, the company wants to collaborate with like-minded peers and deepen their offerings in the areas of artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics and quantum computing.
Making good on this promise, Noblis last year invested in space technology maker Scout Space via its Noblis Ventures arm. Together, Corrigan said the companies will work toward answering the need for space-based datasets in the face of a mounting demand signal for situational awareness enhancements.
“The combination of the two companies’ capabilities will enable more dedicated resources to drive space-related intelligence, expand Noblis’ space portfolio and mission impacts and provide more resources for SCOUT’s ongoing offerings,” said Corrigan.
Ambitious, visionary leaders like Corrigan are hard to come by and those are some of the many qualities that secured her place in the vaunted 2024 Wash100. Congratulations to Corrigan and the whole team at Noblis! Executive Mosaic looks excitedly toward what the future has in store for this evolving enterprise.
