Federal Contractors | Technology 2024: JOHN USTICA

Before being named president and CEO in October 2022 of Siemens Government Technologies, the U.S. contracting arm of German tech conglomerate Siemens, Ustica served as its senior vice president and chief financial officer. Now, he oversees a government contracting firm focused on securing and modernizing technology infrastructure.

Before joining SGT in 2018, Ustica was a general manager for Siemens’ manufacturing hub in Charlotte, North Carolina. He also led strategic product initiatives for the conglomerate’s global generator manufacturing network.

Ustica holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Central Florida and an MBA from Rollins College. He serves on the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s board. This year, Executive Mosaic named Ustica to its Wash100 list of the most impactful government contracting executives for the second consecutive year.

In May, Siemens Government Technologies lost a bid to revive a claim that the Navy owes it $5.2 million for breaching a contract to investigate energy saving measures at military installations. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a 2022 ruling that rejected Siemens’ claim.
