Former Jacobs Exec Mike Alvarado Appointed Akima Chief Growth Officer

Mike Alvarado, a 16-year veteran of Jacobs (NYSE: J), has joined Akima to serve as chief growth officer and he will oversee corporate development functions in his new position.

Alvarado will report to Bill Monet, president and CEO of Akima and a three-time Wash100 Award recipient, and help the company drive market share and revenue growth efforts, the company said Tuesday.

“He is a forward-thinking and strategic leader, and his expertise will play a critical role in aligning our strategic plan and organizational vision to best support our customers’ missions,” Monet said of the newly appointed CGO.

At Jacobs, Alvarado previously led the sales strategy for the company’s critical mission solutions business and strategy development for government-focused information technology, intelligence and cybersecurity programs.

He played a key role in Jacobs’ acquisition and subsequent integration of KeyW in 2019 and investment in PA Consulting in 2021.

Alvarado also held computer science research and development roles at Sandia National Laboratories.
