Kevin Wideman named CEO of Koniag Government Services

After 30 years of leading and growing several mid to large-sized government contracting organizations, Kevin Wideman has joined Koniag Government Services (KGS) as its new chief executive officer, the Chantilly, VA-based company announced August 17.

“I am thrilled to use my experience to complement an already strong team. I look forward to working with Koniag’s board and our employees, serving our customers, and growing our business to provide benefits for our shareholders,” Wideman said. “I am very anxious to commence this next chapter of my professional career.”

Kevin joins KGS after most recently serving as president of Federal/Civilian Mission IT Solutions for a large federal government contractor, where he directed operations and business development for the largest portfolio of programs within its Operating Group. Wideman also led the growth and transformation of Vistronix, LLC as chief operating officer, from a small 8(a) government services firm, to a large, diversified business grossing nearly $200M in annual revenue.

Kevin’s goals and his track-record successfully delivering solutions to the federal government match our mission and portfolio of companies,” said Ron Unger, Koniag chairman and interim CEO. “Kevin shares the KGS commitment to operational excellence, empowerment, and service leadership for the benefit of our employees and customers.”

Wideman will play a critical role in leading Koniag Government Services on its next phase of strategic growth, delivering full end-to-end solutions, technical expertise, and management consulting for federal, state and local governments, the company said. His leadership and expertise will guide and direct the full range of KGS capabilities: Management Consulting, Application Development, Enterprise Infrastructure Support, Integrated Security, Facilities Management and Industrial Automation and Control Solutions.
