Tiffanny Gates, President of Novetta’s Federal Division
Tiffanny Gates joined Novetta as president in January 2016 after successfully transitioning her cyber practice to Raytheon, with the successful acquisition of Blackbird Technologies. In her action-packed first year, she led her leadership team through the transition to new PE leadership in the Carlyle Group; reorganized the federal operations group to align with strategy and top-line growth objectives; and built a world-class business development team.
Gates also helped ensure the company achieved, for the second time in a row, Washingtonian’s Great Places to Work distinction. Gates was recently appointed by the Board of Directors as the company’s next Chief Executive Officer effective March 27, 2017.
Why Watch: With a dynamic leadership team in place post-acquisition and the momentum gained in 2016, Novetta is poised for significant top-line Growth; add to the formula, the Carlyle Group, and it will be interesting to see whether M&A activity in 2017 complements the organic growth Gates is targeting. The combination of relevant experience in big data, media and predictive analytics, as well as a longstanding reputation in cyber security – all in support of defense and national security customers – make Novetta a company to watch as well.
