Each year, the Wash100 Award recognizes the top 100 most influential and impactful executives working in the federal government and government contracting ecosystem. The individuals named to the Wash100 list are selected because they demonstrate outstanding leadership, innovation, vision, reliability and achievements, and they are poised to meaningfully shape the GovCon sector in the coming year and beyond.
“Andreas’ work at the intersection of national security, defense, space and technology is driving forward innovation in the public sector and helping government customers stay at the forefront of tech advancements. We’re proud to have Andreas and his exciting vision for the future of ARKA included in our Wash100 list for the first time,” said Jim Garrettson, CEO of Executive Mosaic and founder of the Wash100 Award.
“As ARKA continues to grow, we’re honored to be recognized for our work supporting national security space and technology,” commented Nonnenmacher on his win. “To be among such an inspiring class of honorees is both exciting and humbling. I’m proud to lead such a dedicated team and bring world class solutions to our customers and the nation. It may be my name on the award, but this is a recognition of the entire ARKA team’s great work and our bright future.”
Nonnenmacher was tapped to lead ARKA in 2020 after Danbury Mission Technologies, owned by ARKA, acquired RTX’s space-based optics business. Since that time, Nonnenmacher has spearheaded the company’s growth and transformation, including combining Danbury with AMERGINT Technologies and Tethers Unlimited, and through the acquisitions of The Stratagem Group and Lumacron Technology.
Prior to joining ARKA, Nonnenmacher served as vice president and general manager at RTX. He also previously held the role of vice president of ISR & Space Systems at Collins Aerospace, in which he was responsible for developing the business strategy and leading the division’s program portfolio.
Executive Mosaic congratulates Andreas Nonnenmacher and ARKA for their inclusion in this year’s Wash100 list. Don’t forget to vote for him at Wash100.com.
