Mara Motherway, former vice president for Government Relations and Military Affairs at Booz Allen Hamilton, has been appointed to the new role of senior vice president of Government and Customer Relations at Peraton.
“I’m excited to welcome Mara to the company at such a critical time,” said 2021 Wash100 Award winner Stu Shea, Peraton’s chairman, president, and CEO. on Tuesday. “Her decades of experience in national security and track record of success in the government affairs arena will scale this capability and be a force multiplier for our business.”
In the newly created role, Mara Motherway will be responsible for driving the company’s public policy and government affairs strategies. She will report to Peraton’s Executive Vice President and Chief Growth Officer Mike King.
