Here are the 2016 FedScoop 50 winners
FedScoop honored the top 50 leaders in the government technology space who’ve made a lasting impact on the federal IT community Tuesday night at its annual FedScoop 50 Awards.
Hosted at the Hay-Adams Hotel penthouse overlooking the White House, the FedScoop 50 awards ceremony recognized the federal and industry leaders who have harnessed the power of technology to make significant contributions to the nation and government IT community in the last year.
“Each year, the FedScoop 50 Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of the top leaders in the federal IT community,” said Goldy Kamali, FedScoop founder and CEO. “FedScoop 50 is a wonderful opportunity to extend recognition to the leaders that have paved the way in cybersecurity, technology advances and accelerating the IT modernization of government.”
