On January 27, 2014, Executive Mosaic officially elected Sterling Phillips, chief executive of USIS, 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.
Phillips joined USIS as president and CEO on the first day of 2013 and has since overseen around 6,000 employees providing intelligence services and security solutions across global markets.
Altegrity CEO Sharon Rowlands pointed to Phillips experience leading organizations with geographically dispersed workforces as a key differentiator for him and said the USIS parent company looked to tap his “blend” of executive experience in government, security and technology.
Phillips had previously helped drive impressive growth and sales of several companies in the GovCon industry to buyers including QinetiQ and Unicom Systems.
After a close-to-quarter-century career with IBM and executive posts with contractors including Federal Data Corp. and CSC, Phillips would go on to serve as chairman and CEO of Analex Corp.; as a venture partner at FirstMark Captital; and  CEO, president and director of GTSI.

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.

Tysons Corner, Va.-based Executive Mosaic is the only cross-platform media company that captures leading GovCon Executives’ perspectives on the latest developments and significant activity across government and industry.

Its media properties GovCon Wire, ExecutiveBiz, ExecutiveGov, and GovCon Executive serve as the most comprehensive source of original executive content in the industry.
