Veritas Capital CEO and Managing Partner Ramzi Musallam and Aptive Resources Founder and CEO Rachele Cooper were recognized by Executive Mosaic on Tuesday for their 2024 Wash100 Award wins.

The elite Wash100 Award is annually presented to the most impactful leaders in the government contracting industry. Recipients of the highly-selective award are chosen through a process that looks at the past achievements and anticipated future success of each nominee to determine the strongest individuals in the field.

Musallam has won the Wash100 Award nine times, and this year, he was honored for continuing to shape the GovCon market by leading Veritas Capital’s investments in key contractors. In 2023, the firm recapitalized its investment in the healthcare information technology-focused company Cotiviti and sold Guidehouse to Bain Capital for $5.3 billion.
