Federal 100: Thomas Romeo
Name: Thomas Romeo
Title: President
Company: MAXIMUS Federal
Health care hero. Under Romeo's leadership, MAXIMUS helped state governments meet the requirements of the 2010 health care law by winning six of the initial 15 state health insurance exchange contracts. And while the HealthCare.gov debacle dominated headlines, Romeo led his company to implement contingency plans that allowed the application and enrollment process to continue despite problems with the main site. Because he understands that the key to such success is having a stellar workforce, he makes sure the company attracts top talent, in part by spending almost $2 million a year on professional development.
