Jim Garrettson, CEO of Executive Mosaic and founder of the Wash100 Award, lauded Wagoner’s consistent success, stating, “Doug is one of the most well-respected leaders in GovCon, with a string of executive successes. A six-time Wash100 winner, he’s spent the last five years at the helm of LMI, guiding its successful transition to a for-profit enterprise in 2022 and leading the company to big wins with DLA, CMS, DOD, the Army and NASA.” Garrettson further praised Wagoner’s insight, leadership, and ability to attract and motivate a high-IQ C-suite.
