Parsons Chairwoman, President and CEO Carey Smith and United States Strategic Command Commander Gen. Anthony Cotton were individually celebrated on Thursday for their selection to Executive Mosaic’s elite 2023 Wash100 list.
For the past ten years, the Wash100 Award has recognized the most powerful and influential leaders across the government contracting sector. Executives named to the distinguished list have not only demonstrated outstanding leadership, innovation and vision throughout their careers, but they’re also uniquely poised to deliver notable impact within the federal landscape in the coming year.
Smith earned her fifth Wash100 Award this year for her success in growing the Parsons enterprise through organic opportunities as well as key mergers and acquisitions. She has helmed Parsons for the past six and a half years thus far, and under her leadership, the company has grown its revenue to over $4.2 billion — with acquisitions accounting for $205 million of overall sales.
