About Wash100

Established in 2014, the Wash100 comprises the most significant and impactful executives in the government contracting sector. This elite group is hand-picked annually by Executive Mosaic’s organizational and editorial leadership after a careful and competitive review process. Wash100 is a forward-looking celebration, singling out those who EM feels are most poised to achieve great things in the coming year. The individuals recognized are also selected for their consistent accomplishments in leadership, innovation and vision.

Once the list of 100 honorees are announced in January, readers and supporters are encouraged to visit wash100.com to place your votes for your 10 favorite candidates. This will determine the winner of the ranking in April — though if an executive makes this list in the first place, of course, they are already noteworthy.

From January to April, EM stages a grand rollout for the awardees, in which we present each recipient with their trophy and extoll their virtues in individualized articles that discuss the career history that brought them to this esteemed perch.
