What it is

Executive Mosaic is a Tysons Corner, Virginia company that connects, promotes and brands senior executives in the government contracting (GovCon) market through peer networking events and media. It was founded by Jim Garrettson, its CEO and Publisher, to create a forum and media platform for top executives in the Washington, DC area, and it later focused on the GovCon sector as that market grew. The company describes itself as operating since 2002. See its About page for its team and brands.

Brands and services

  • 4x24 Executive Leadership Series: a membership program for senior GovCon leaders, with members from over 200 companies in 21 states and Canada.
  • Potomac Officers Club: an executive-only membership organization for peer learning and relationship building between business leaders and government officials. It excludes service providers.
  • News sites: GovConWire, ExecutiveBiz and ExecutiveGov cover GovCon people, contracts and policy. Executive Mosaic says its Spectrum platform reaches over five million people a year and sells media coverage packages to companies.
  • ArchIntel: a customized daily intelligence briefing service combining automated sourcing with human analysis.

Who it is for

The core audience is senior executives at government contractors and the government leaders who engage with them. The 4x24 Leadership Series says only qualified senior executives in the GovCon industry are invited. For most early-stage founders, Executive Mosaic is more useful as a news source than as a community to join. Its news sites are a practical way to follow contract awards, executive moves and acquisitions among the government contractors who may become your customers, partners or acquirers. Founders of later-stage companies selling to government may find the executive networking groups worth exploring.

How to engage

The 4x24 Series is organized into topic groups such as AI, Cyber, Cloud Computing, CIO, CFO, CTO, Contracts, DOD, DHS/Civilian, Healthcare and Quantum. To apply, you pick a group, submit a form, and Executive Mosaic contacts you if you qualify. Membership fees are not published. Events are hosted under the Potomac Officers Club and GovConWire names and listed on the events page. General inquiries go through the contact page, by phone at 703.226.7000, or by email at info@executivemosaic.com.

Why it matters in the DMV ecosystem

Government contracting is a large part of the Northern Virginia and DC economy. Executive Mosaic's media brands and executive groups are one of the regular meeting points and news channels for that industry, so they help founders understand who the major contractors and government technology buyers are and what they are focused on.
