PRESIDENT, U.S. OPERATIONS, CACI INTERNATIONAL, RESTON

After starting her career as a middle school math and science teacher, Gray became interested in coding, which led her to IT, where she worked as a software developer. A former executive at Lockheed Martin and BAE Systems, Gray has won the Armed Forces Communications & Electronics Association International Women’s Appreciation Award for promoting STEM and women in the workplace. In 2025, Gray appeared for the ninth time on Executive Mosaic’s Wash100 list of top government contracting executives.
Gray joined Fortune 500 contractor CACI in 2017 as president of its U.S. operations, then was president of business and IT solutions starting in 2019. In 2024, CACI announced she would once again be president of U.S. operations. The company employs roughly 23,000 people and generated $7.65 billion in 2024 revenue.
In addition to major contract wins worth billions of dollars in 2024, including with the Air Force and NASA, CACI made two acquisitions in the latter part of the year. Those purchases included Fairfax County-based Azure Summit Technology in an all-cash $1.3 billion deal as well as an all-cash purchase of Reston-based Applied Insight.
