The names of this year’s 100 most influential executives in the government IT community were released by Federal Computer Week magazine this morning.

The Federal 100 Awards recognize government and industry leaders who have played pivotal roles in the federal government IT community-and who “have made a difference in the way technology has transformed their agency or accelerated their agency’s mission.”

This year’s winners included 23 executives from industry, one from state/local government and 76 from the federal government. The list includes 51 people in civilian agencies and 25 in the defense sector, according to the magazines editors.

Among the winners were Office of Management and Budget’s acting director Jeff Zients, General Services Administration associate administrator Dave McClure and former OMB Office of Federal Procurement Policy director, Daniel Gordon.

Other winners included individuals who responded to the WikiLeaks data breach, another who restored communications after an earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and several who engineered significant cost savings across the government.
