Martha Mathers, chief growth officer of OPEXUS, has won WashingtonExec’s 2023 Chief Officer Award for Chief Growth Officer in the Private Company <$100M category.
WashingtonExec on May 10 unveiled the winners of the Chief Officer Awards, an annual program that celebrates influential and innovative executives in government and industry in the C-suite. The event took place at McLean’s luxurious Ritz Carlton, where 535 attendees came together for a memorable in-person luncheon.
Along with the government and industry winners, Sudhakar Kesavan, chairman of the board of directors at ABM Industries, Inc. and board member of Cadmus Group and Dexis Consulting Group, was honored with the 2023 Chief Officer Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. This award recognizes the career of a longtime, influential and impactful CEO, as Kesavan served as ICF CEO for an impressive 21 years, making him a true industry stalwart. Maximus CEO Bruce Caswell served as the emcee for this year’s awards ceremony.
Mathers noted in her finalist Q+A with WashingtonExec that 2022 was a year of growth for OPEXUS, both in terms of bookings as well as adding employees.
“We are growing quickly and know that our customers need great tools to be able to leave a legacy,” she said. “That legacy could be big or small, but by automating the critical processes that keep government running, we free up our customers’ resources ⏤ and taxpayer dollars ⏤ to deliver on their missions.
“I keep this focus central to everything our go-to-market team does, and carefully evaluate any initiatives or investments on how they will impact our customers efficiency, job satisfaction, and ability to execute their core tasks with ease.”
