Exiger, the market-leading supply chain AI company and largest provider of supply chain technology to the U.S. Government, announced that CEO Brandon Daniels has been selected by Executive Mosaic as a winner of 2026 Wash100 Awards, which spotlights the private sector and government executives whose decisions and direction are shaping federal priorities, programs, and partnerships. The prestigious recognition honors the most influential leaders across the government contracting ecosystem.
Wash100 has become a defining benchmark for leadership across the GovCon community. Each year, Executive Mosaic’s senior voting committee conducts an extensive review process, evaluating thousands of potential candidates from across government and industry.
“When Emil Michael, Under Secretary of War for R&E and CTO at the Pentagon, said he wanted to see ‘five more Andurils, Palantirs, and SpaceXs,’ we took that as a call to action,” said Daniels. “Backed by world-class partners Carlyle, Insight Partners and JMI, we’ve moved decisively to rapidly expand our proprietary data universe and deliver mission-grade AI that accelerates innovation across the federal government and scales Exiger from a unicorn three years ago into a disruptive leader in defense and national security tech. This moment demands speed, clarity and execution like never before and Executive Mosaic continues to set the standard for recognizing impact in this space.”

In 2025, Daniels paired policy leadership with execution — testifying before Congress, shaping global anti-forced labor initiatives, and winning major U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Army contracts that harness AI to advance trade enforcement and defense readiness. That convergence of influence and delivery positions Exiger for even greater impact in 2026.
