Federal Contractors | Technology 2024: DOUG WAGONER

LMI has experienced several changes since Wagoner became CEO of the government contracting and consulting firm in 2020. In 2021, LMI acquired Suntiva, expanding its digital and workforce solution offerings, and sponsored the establishment of the Space Force Association Space Center of Excellence, an effort that aims to foster collaboration in the space domain.

In 2022, LMI further expanded its presence in the space defense industry with the purchase of Colorado-based Synaptech and sold its for-profit subsidiary LMI to a consortium of investors, which rebranded the remaining nonprofit entity as NobleReach Foundation. And in 2023, LMI announced a five-year contract from the FDA to support modernizing its business operations.

Before joining LMI, Wagoner was sector president at Reston-based Fortune 500 company Science Applications International Corp. He holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from William & Mary and an MBA from Virginia Tech. He serves on the global advisory council for the USO and the board of directors of the Northern Virginia Technology Council. Earlier this year, Wagoner received his fifth Wash100 Award from Executive Mosaic, recognizing the most impactful government contracting executives.
