WashingtonExec on Nov. 30 unveiled the winners of the Pinnacle Awards, an annual program that embodies the WashingtonExec spirit of highlighting successful executives and businesses saving money and fostering innovation for federal clients across the region. Nearly 525 attendees gathered for the in-person luncheon held at the Ritz Carlton in McLean, Virginia.
Along with the government and industry winners, Attain Partners Founder, Chairman and CEO Greg Baroni was honored with the 2022 Pinnacle Awards Lifetime Achievement Award for his illustrious career and celebrated contributions to the community. Mac Curtis, chairman of the board for Veritas Capital-backed Cubic Corp., was the emcee.
In his finalist Q+A, Portlock said diligence and resilience have made him successful in his current role.
“I’ve always worked hard and have been determined to make this company the best it can be, while understanding not everything will go our way,” he said. “We’ve experienced ups and downs during my tenure, as all businesses do. It’s how we react to the ebb and flow that determines our future success.”
