These 100 individuals were chosen by EM’s editorial and organizational leadership as the executives and other leaders that drive the conversations surrounding GovCon and those that will shape the discussions in 2016 across the public and private sectors.
The 2016 Wash100 includes high-level executives from 55 contracting companies or other entities, 21 federal agencies and three organizations in the think tank and trade group areas that leaders from business and government turn to for outlooks on the trends and topics to watch in GovCon.
The 19 non-publicly-traded contractors represented in the 2016 Wash100 include the nonprofit research and science organizations MITRE and Noblis along with 10 for-profit companies listed in the fiscal year 2014 BGOV 200, Bloomberg Government’s annual ranking of the top 200 GovCon entities in terms of unclassified contract revenue.
Global private equity firm Veritas Capital has one member in the 2016 Wash100 for its ownership of contractors Alion Science and Technology, KeyPoint Government Solutions and Vencore.
Executives from the White House, Defense Department, DoD agencies, the military services, intelligence community and civilian realm made the 2016 Wash100 for their impact on the government’s acquisition efforts and work with private sector organizations.
EM leadership also selected leaders from the trade groups Aerospace Industries Association and Professional Services Council, as well as the think tank Center for Strategic and International Studies for their influence on their peers in both the public and private sectors.
