This week, there were a number of significant shifts in the top 30 ranking, including some notable movements in the top 10. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin moved from the number four spot to the number two spot, tying with his best-ever placement this year and inching that much closer to unseating Director of the National Security Agency and Commander of U.S. Cyber Command, General Paul Nakasone, who has now held the number one spot for a month straight.

Also ascendant in the top 10 was Deputy Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Tonya Wilkerson, who rose from the number eight slot to the number six slot in just a week’s time. It is Wilkerson’s first-ever Wash100 Award. Additionally, General John Raymond, formerly of the U.S. Air Force and now chief of space operations at Space Force, came in at number eight this week after placing at number nine last week.

Making their highest appearance on the list so far this year were Deputy Secretary of Defense Dr. Kathleen Hicks, who climbed from number 12 to number 10 and Chief Technology and Innovation Officer at Space Force, Dr. Lisa Costa, moving from last week’s number 14 to this week’s number 13. These executives could capitalize on this momentum and continue making their way up the top 10.

Neck and neck with Gilliland was her colleague, eight-time Wash100 Award winner and Chairman and CEO of General Dynamics, Phebe Novakovic, who leaped five spots, from number 26 to number 21.
