Battelle CEO & GovCon Veteran Lou Von Thaer Accepts 2023 Wash100 Award from Executive Mosaic CEO Jim Garrettson

Lou Von Thaer, CEO of nonprofit science and technology company Battelle, was presented with his eighth Wash100 Award by Jim Garrettson, CEO of Executive Mosaic, in a recent meeting at Battelle’s Washington, D.C. facilities.

Garrettson founded the Wash100 in 2014 as a way of celebrating the finest talent in government contracting across the public and private sectors and to advance predictions about who will be the most impactful figures in the industry in the coming year. To whittle down each year’s winners from hundreds into a selective top 100, EM’s voting body assesses candidates based on the following metrics: innovation, reliability, leadership, vision and achievement. It is widely considered one of the highest honors in GovCon.

Von Thaer’s work at the helm of Battelle caught the voting body’s eye yet again this year with contracts such as its position on a 10-year, $10 billion Defense Health Agency medical research and development services award and a $869 million U.S. Army award calling for R&D and engineering support assistance.
