What’s coming next? The key government contracting leaders aren’t just asking the question, they’re shaping the conversation. In WashingtonExec’s inaugural list of Top 30 Executives to Watch, we turn the spotlight on industry leaders who are positioning their companies for greater growth and relevance ahead. Selected by industry colleagues, these leaders hail from a diverse range of companies, where they’re fueling new ways of thinking and responding to the many challenges faced by their government customers. From cybersecurity to national defense, healthcare IT to big data, the needs will only grow as we settle into this Presidential election year and beyond. Throughout this alphabetized list, we’re placing our bets that these industry leaders will continue to drive value and exceed expectations across all levels of government.
Top 30 Execs to Watch Spotlight:
Bob McCord had a successful run for more than three years as President and Chief Operating Officer of 2020 Company, LLC, before it was sold to Acentia in April 2012. McCord then worked as President and COO of Acentia until March 2015, when the information technology and management consulting company was bought by MAXIMUS for $300 million. Today, McCord is President and COO of Octo Consulting and reports to fellow Virginia Tech graduate and founder Mehul Sanghani.
“We are committed to being the federal market’s premier digital services firm and are elated to have [Bob] guide us in this journey, improve our execution and achieve our vision of a digitalized government,” Sanghani said in a press release.
Reason to watch: It will interesting to watch if the self-described operator will be able to build on Octo’s success to re-create the magic of 2020 and Acentia.
