The industry execs on FCW's Federal 100 list for 2021

Find opportunities — and win them.

The 2021 edition of FCW's Federal 100 list is out in recognition of accomplishments and leadership across the government IT landscape. A total of 28 from industry were selected for this year's class.

Each year our sibling publication FCW releases its Federal 100 -- a list of the women and men who “personify what’s possible in federal IT.”

That’s how FCW Editor-in-Chief Troy Schneider described it last week when the the 2021 winners were announced. Hundreds of nominations were submitted. A panel of government and industry judges winnowed submissions down to the 100.

FCW will be reporting on the winners over the coming months and it all culminates in the Fed 100 gala on Aug. 27. Yes: the plan is to do it in person. Fingers crossed. It’s always a great night.

You can find the list of all 100 winners here. Out of those, 28 winners hail from industry with a few from nonprofit or academic organizations.
