On January 27, 2014, Executive Mosaic officially elected Orbital Sciences Corp‘s Tom McCabe to join the ranks of the Wash100 as part of the latest group of inductees into the premier group of leaders on both sides of the intersection of the private and public sectors.

McCabe exemplified the group’s emphasis on bridging efforts and capabilities between business and government in his selection, to which he added an additional layer of integrating his legal efforts with the business side of the companies he has worked he worked for.

With an executive history holding the president role at several firms and acting in senior financial and legal positions GRC International, McCabe is uniquely positioned to support business operations with his legal expertise.

“By getting involved in the early phases of a business transaction, the general counsel can help the line managers set things up quickly and creatively,” McCabe noted to GovCon Exec.

“If you don’t involve legal from the start, it’s like you’re taking a trip and you have a GPS in your car, but you don’t turn it on until you’ve been in the car for five hours.”

The Wash100 is a group of private and public sectors officially elected by Executive Mosaic’s organizational and editorial leadership for demonstrating a consistent commitment to organizational excellence, and driving above-average value to the American public through strategic vision, innovation and achievement.

Executive Mosaic inducts new leaders each year, but the recognition is earned over a career of work.
