LinQuest names Jacobs vet as growth lead

LinQuest Corp. has hired nearly 15-year federal market veteran and former Jacobs executive Kent Wilcher as senior vice president and chief growth officer.

Wilcher will oversee LinQuest’s push for organic growth with responsibility for its sales pipeline and business development organization, the company said Tuesday. That effort will include both defenses of recompetes and new program pursuits.

Most recently, Wilcher was vice president for growth and sales at Jacobs.
