Government Has the Ball in Wash100 Popular Vote Standings

Government and industry are playing a tense, competitive game of tennis in this year’s Wash100 popular vote contest. The private and public sectors are volleying back and forth, each making progress every other week while the other lags briefly behind. It’s making for one of the most nail-biting showdowns in years!

The Wash100 Award is among the premier offerings from Executive Mosaic, the leading events, networking and media organization for the government contracting industry. Wash100 is EM’s yearly recognition of the 100 individuals it endorses as the future of the market and the most likely to influence its direction and activities over the next year. Once the list is announced in January, a popular vote is begun between the recipients to determine an audience favorite.

After a period of industry triumph last week, it was government’s job to rise to the occasion, with four public officials making solid gains in the top 30 and challenging their industrial base counterparts.

The highest ranked government mover was Lt. Gen. Robert Skinner, director of the Defense Information Systems Agency, who rose from number 15 to 14, nudging ever closer to the top 10. Lt. Gen. Skinner is a three-time consecutive Wash100 recipient and a regular challenger in this race. Can he go all the way?

Lt. Gen. Skinner will also deliver the closing keynote address at Potomac Officers Club’s 5th Annual CIO Summit on April 17. Don’t miss this chance to connect with the government’s finest information technology change-makers; register here now!

Close behind Lt. Gen. Skinner was Young Bang, a first-time Wash100 winner and the principal deputy assistant secretary of the Army for acquisition, logistics and technology. Bang ascended two spots to number 16 over the course of the last week. Just inside the top 20 was Gen. Chance Saltzman, the U.S. Space Force chief of space operations, who climbed up one slot to number 19.

Nearly cracking the top 20 was Lt. Gen. Timothy Haugh, commander of U.S. Cyber Command and director of the National Security Agency, who is sitting pretty at number 21, up two from number 23 last week. Don’t underestimate this first-time Wash100er!

Industry wasn’t totally quiet, however. AT&T Vice President of Federal Solutions Jill Singer propelled upward three spots to number eight, while, at the other end of the top 30, Lockheed Martin Vice President and General Manager of National Security Maria Demaree quietly made inroads to number 28.

You decide how next week’s results, and the entire conclusion of the race, will shake out. Don’t delay — cast your votes today and tell your friends and family who care about GovCon to do the same.
