George Batsakis

CEO, Groundswell

In George Batsakis’ current role, the biggest recent achievement has been launching a new generation of commercial-first, purpose-built products designed specifically for federal missions.

Groundswell focuses on adapting proven commercial capabilities into fit-for-federal SaaS solutions that accelerate adoption while maintaining security, compliance and mission integrity. The real success is seeing agencies deploy these products quickly and operate them sustainably at scale, Batsakis said.

Why Watch

In 2026, Batsakis and his team are focused on advancing a commercial delivery model purpose-built for government. As federal demand for commercial technology accelerates, his priority is delivering mission-ready SaaS products that remove friction, shorten time to value and scale across agencies. The goal is durable impact driven by products that are true to core, commercially grounded and operationally proven.

Fun fact: This past year, Batsakis became a grandfather twice. Over the holidays, his home brought together four generations under one roof.
