John Binks has just been recognized as among OrangeSlices’ National Security And Enforcement 150

HERNDON, VA, UNITED STATES, September 1, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- John Binks has just been recognized as being among OrangeSlices’ National Security And Enforcement 150 Honorees.

The new fiscal year brings big expectations. With an administration prioritizing efficiency, AI-driven innovation, and product-focused delivery, the way government and industry work together will matter more than ever. Meeting the moment will require leaders who know how to engage – with intention, humility, and a shared sense of mission.

The 2026 National Security And Enforcement 150 honorees are those leaders. Nominated and selected by their peers, they are recognized not for their titles, but for how they show up. They make time to listen. They create space for others. They lead by example – building trust, sharing insight, and connecting across boundaries to drive forward real, workable solutions.

These individuals are already shaping how National Security and Enforcement agencies – across the Department of Homeland Security, State Department, Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation and more – deliver on behalf of the people they serve. As we prepare to begin this new fiscal year, they are the leaders others look to for guidance, collaboration, and momentum.

The list of 2026 honorees and the criteria used for their selection are included below. Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations and those volunteers who took part in the review, continuing to elevate those who are #doingitright.

John Binks is a respected technologist, author, and Senior Director of Business Development at Titan Technologies LLC. He is recognized for making complex technology concepts approachable while aligning emerging innovations with government mission needs. In his role at Titan, John plays a pivotal part in advancing scalable IT solutions across federal and civilian sectors, forging strategic partnerships, and bridging the gap between government requirements and industry capabilities. Prior to Titan, he built a strong foundation as a senior leader at FEMA, where he led technology initiatives to support critical response and recovery systems. Beyond his federal contracting expertise, John is also a published award-winning best-selling author and thought leader in artificial intelligence and management, known for his ability to connect policy, operations, and innovation with clarity and passion.

What Sets Engage Leaders Apart?
Nominees were evaluated using a prescribed rubric, with the following six characteristics serving as core evaluation criteria. These qualities reflect what it truly means to lead with purpose, collaboration, and impact in today’s Federal environment:

Open Communication – They share insights-through events, published thought pieces, or open platforms like LinkedIn – because they believe transparency and shared knowledge drive progress.

Mission-Focused Thinking – Their perspective extends beyond organizational walls. They prioritize the needs of the communities they serve, actively seeking feedback and collaboration to drive better outcomes.

Reliable Partnership – They lead with clarity, humility, and accountability. These individuals are trusted partners who understand their role – and the roles of others – and consistently deliver on shared goals.

Community Presence – These leaders are actively involved. Whether at events, in working groups, or through mentorship, they show up, contribute, and help lift the entire ecosystem.

Perspective-Seeking – Engaged leaders welcome input from a wide range of stakeholders – including users, partners, and community voices – to inform more complete, inclusive, and effective solutions.

Innovation-Minded – They challenge the status quo. By championing new technologies, processes, and ideas, they help drive progress and adaptability in an increasingly complex environment.

These characteristics were defined as being drivers to Engage GovCon and provide all leaders across government and industry a model for how to collaborate, engage and thrive.
