Mike Uster, chief information officer and chief technology officer for ManTech, has won WashingtonExec’s 2024 Chief Officer Award for Chief Information Officer in the Public and Private Company 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 The Hilton in McLean, Virginia, where hundreds of attendees came together for a memorable in-person luncheon.
Along with the government and industry winners, Richard Montoni, a director on Maximus board of directors who was the company’s CEO from 2006-2018, was honored with the 2024 Chief Officer Awards Lifetime Achievement Award. This award recognizes the career of a longtime, influential, impactful CEO who continues to share his perspective and expertise within and outside the GovCon industry. Montoni was introduced and honored by his successor, current Maximus CEO Bruce Caswell.
Uster noted in his finalist Q+A with WashingtonExec that he will continue working to democratize artificial intelligence across the enterprise, which will lead to a significant reduction in digital friction while boosting employees’ productivity and satisfaction.
“By expanding the use of AI, we can ensure that every function within our organization can leverage its power daily,” he said. “This focus not only accelerates and refines everyday processes but also bespoke and unique processes, improving the speed and accuracy of operations and driving a more streamlined and efficient work environment.”
