KBR’s Byron Bright & DOD’s Nickolas Guertin Recognized for 2023 Wash100 Achievements

On Monday, Executive Mosaic highlighted the accomplishments of two 2023 Wash100 Award winners — KBR Government Solutions President Byron Bright and Nickolas Guertin, nominee for assistant secretary of the Navy for research, development and acquisition — in individual profiles describing why they were selected to this year’s elite list.

The Wash100 list comprises 100 of the top executives across the government contracting landscape. The annual award recognizes these individuals for demonstrating excellence in their organizations and for shaping the future of GovCon.

This year, Bright gained his fourth consecutive Wash100 recognition for driving KBR’s continued delivery of weapons systems and technologies to vital United States military branches, space agencies and other high-growth markets in today’s constantly evolving battlespace.
