Federal Contractors/Technology: SCOTT McINTYRE 

Guidehouse completed its acquisition of McLean-based Dovel Technologies in late 2021, adding another 2,000 employees to a workforce that has grown to about 12,000 people in more than 50 locations. Its headquarters move from Washington, D.C., to McLean represented one of Northern Virginia’s largest economic development deals in 2021.

McIntyre served as managing partner for PricewaterhouseCoopers’ U.S. public sector business when it was purchased by hedge fund Veritas Capital in 2018, forming Guidehouse. He’s served as CEO of the global consultancy since then.

McIntyre was named among Washington Exec’s Top 35 Execs to Watch in 2022. In April, Guidehouse won a spot on a $999.6 billion, five-year Navy financial improvement contract. McIntyre also made headlines after The Washington Post reported in January that he had boasted about Guidehouse’s 38% profit margins on a state contract to run New York’s emergency rental assistance program. A state official called it “beyond troubling” that McIntyre would tout “profiting off the misfortune” of financially strapped renters.

McIntyre has degrees from Washington & Jefferson College, Willamette University and Johns Hopkins University. He is also a board member for the Baldrige Foundation.
