Leidos announces 2024 Supplier Innovation & Technology Award winners
Each year, Leidos celebrates the power of partnership at the Leidos Supplier Innovation & Technology Symposium. The annual event includes an awards section to honor suppliers for their excellence in technology, collaboration, partnership, and innovation.
“The supplier awards are a way to acknowledge the critical role our partners play in mission success,” said Stephanie Foster, chief supply chain officer at Leidos. “We are committed to bringing the best solutions possible to our customers, and we value the collaboration and support of our strategic supplier base.”
Leidos employees vote on a standout partner for each category and submit nominations for the Account Manager of the Year. A second award for Account Manager of the Year was added this year to broaden recognition of the outstanding individuals who work side-by-side with the Leidos team.
