The esteemed Wash100 Award is the most prestigious recognition for government contracting industry executives. Each Wash100 class is hand-picked using a selection process that puts the past achievements of each nominee under a microscope and evaluates their forward momentum.

He is also a passionate advocate for government-industry collaboration. Read his full profile here.

Barnes was welcomed into the ranks of Wash100 for the third time this year in recognition of his efforts to empower AI innovation. In 2023, Barnes repeatedly spoke about the benefits of AI and the necessity of making sure both public and private sector organizations embrace it responsibly. To read his full profile, click here.
