FedResults, Topside Execs Elected To IAC Leadership

HERNDON, Va., June 30, 2008 – Following their recent announcement of a partnership to provide business development solutions for companies seeking federal contracts, FedResults and Topside Consulting today announced that members of their executive teams have been elected to the executive committee of the Industry Advisory Council (IAC).

Jim Beaupre, chief executive officer of FedResults, will serve as vice chair at large, while John Okay of Topside Consulting will function as vice chair for finance.  Beginning their two-year terms on July 1, Beaupre and Okay join two other newly elected individuals on the 11-member committee.

 
Part of the American Council for Technology (ACT), IAC helps its member companies establish and maintain relationships with government agencies through educational programs and networking events.  The executive committee provides the leadership necessary to create the environment where information technology resources can be used to serve the public.

“This is an important year for ACT/IAC because of the uncertainties of a presidential election, federal budget constraints, and the avalanche of new technologies that have significant implications for how the business of government will be conducted,” says Bob Woods, president of Topside Consulting and a former member of the IAC executive committee.  “With the election of Jim and John, IAC has taken a big step toward increasing awareness among federal agencies of new technologies and how they can cost effectively increase productivity, improving agency access, and enhancing overall the value of membership.”

Concurs Bob Dinkel, president and chief operating officer of FedResults, “the new IAC board has just the right mix of talent to advocate for the collaboration that enables government to fulfill its mission and industry to deliver best practices.  I expect that two years from now when their term ends that we’ll have many successes to point to thanks to Jim and John.”

Beaupre has more than 30 years of experience in the technology community, including his tenure in government agencies and with hardware manufacturers and software developers.  He launched JB Cubed, the predecessor to FedResults, to take advantage of the need for small companies overcome the barriers associated with obtaining federal contracts.

 
Prior to his position at Topside Consulting, Dr. Okay held executive IT positions at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the General Services Administration.  His last government position was deputy commissioner of GSA’s Federal Technology Service.  He also is a four-time winner of Federal Computer Week’s “Federal 100” and recipient of two Presidential Rank Awards.
