Federal Contractors | Technology 2023: JOHN USTICA

In his new role leading federal contractor Siemens Government Technologies, Ustica oversees a company focused on securing and modernizing technology infrastructure.

Ustica was named president and CEO in October 2022 for SGT, the U.S. contracting arm of German tech conglomerate Siemens. He joined SGT in 2018 as chief financial officer and had served as interim CEO since May 2022, succeeding Tina Dolph, who became president and chief operating officer for Arlington-based CRDF Global.

Ustica previously was general manager for generator products at Siemens’ manufacturing hub in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he also led strategic product initiatives for the conglomerate’s global generator manufacturing network.

Since last year, SGT has won multiple large contract orders, including a place on a $1.2 billion contract for the U.S. Army Engineering and Support Center.

Ustica earned his MBA from Rollins College and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Central Florida. He serves on the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s board. In February, he was named one of WashingtonExec’s top 35 execs to watch in 2023.
