Huntsville-based government contractor Thompson Gray announced in July that Todd Johnston has been named President, assuming responsibility for day-to-day operations and executive oversight. Since joining the company, he has led the development and execution of a growth-focused operating model—driving clarity in roles, discipline in execution, and alignment between strategy and delivery. His leadership has positioned the company to scale with focus and purpose.
“Todd has been a driving force behind our growth strategy and the operational discipline required to execute it,” said Ron Gray, CEO. “He has sharpened how we articulate our mission, positioned the company to compete and win in new markets, and built the internal systems that allow us to scale with confidence. His leadership has not only elevated how we operate—it has accelerated where we’re going. This promotion is a reflection of the impact he’s already made and the growth he’s continuing to lead.”
Johnston’s promotion and others come as Thompson Gray experiences significant growth across its three core locations—Huntsville, Northern Virginia, and Orlando—driven by new contract awards, long-term customer relationships, and a growing employee-owner workforce. Later this year, the company will open a new headquarters in Huntsville, further anchoring its investment in the region and its people.
With over 250 employee-owners and a reputation for reliability, Thompson Gray continues to provide critical support to Department of Defense agencies as they modernize systems, improve compliance, and meet complex mission demands.
“We’re confident in the direction of the company and energized for what’s ahead,” Gray added. “We’re building on a strong foundation—growing with purpose and continuing to deliver on the trust our customers place in us.”
