Mara Motherway has joined Peraton’s executive leadership team as senior vice president of government and customer relations.
Motherway will report to Mike King, Peraton executive vice president and chief growth officer. She will be responsible for driving Peraton’s public policy and government affairs strategies.
“Having a strong government relations function under a proven leader will ensure Peraton continues to align its mission to the national security objectives of our policymakers,” said Stu Shea, Peraton chairman, president and CEO.
“Her decades of experience in national security and track record of success in the government affairs arena will scale this capability and be a force multiplier for our business,” Shea added.
Motherway joins Peraton from Booz Allen Hamilton, where she served as vice president for government relations and military affairs. In this role, she established the firm’s government affairs capability, guiding strategic government customer relationships and advancing the firm’s business interests with policymakers.
“Mara is an exceptional government relations professional and strategic thinker who brings a unique and proven skillset to Peraton in support of our business objectives,” King said. “She is widely respected across industry and government for her abilities to masterfully navigate public policy issues and effectively convey the priorities of the company to policymakers.”
