On Thursday, Executive Mosaic debuted the 2023 Wash100 profiles of Battelle President and CEO Lou Von Thaer and United States Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall.
Every year, Executive Mosaic hand-picks the top 100 most consequential executives working in the government contracting sector. The resulting list is the Wash100, composed of high-powered individuals from across the dynamic GovCon ecosystem. These elite leaders are recognized not only for their past accomplishments and impact on critical government missions, but also for their anticipated future contributions in the GovCon space.
Executive Mosaic celebrates each of the 100 winners with individual profiles, and today’s recognition was bestowed upon two exceptional leaders.
Lou Von Thaer earned his 2023 Wash100 Award for his leadership in environmental cleanup and energy programs at the helm of Battelle, an independent, non-profit research and development organization. Under Von Thaer’s leadership, Battelle has more than doubled its revenue to over $11 billion, and the company reached more than 1.4 million students through its STEM education outreach program in the last year.

Frank Kendall has been instrumental in shaping the Air Force’s priorities as the U.S. military shifts from a focus on counterterrorism to one on peer and near-peer threats like China. Kendall’s seven operational imperatives have helped to strategically guide the Air Force in its quest to maintain technological dominance on the global stage. This marks Kendall’s fourth year of Wash100 recognition.
