Leadership Transition
LMI has named Josh Wilson as its next Chief Executive Officer, a move that will take effect on January 1, 2026. Wilson has been an integral part of LMI since joining in 2014 and has held a presidential role for the past two years. He will be taking over from Doug Wagoner, who has been at the helm as CEO for five years. Wagoner is set to retire from his CEO duties on December 31, 2025, but will continue his involvement with the company as the chairman of its board of directors.
LMI’s Strategic Evolution
Wagoner’s leadership has been characterized by a significant transformation for LMI, guiding the company from its six-decade history as a nonprofit organization to its current status as a for-profit entity. This transition was completed in 2022 when LMI was acquired by three private investors. With this new structure, LMI has strategically pivoted to become a leading provider of technology solutions for government agencies. This pivot complements its established expertise in consulting and logistics, which formed the foundation of the company when it was founded in 1961.
Wilson’s Background and Vision
In his most recent role as president of markets, growth, and technology, Wilson was responsible for LMI’s customer portfolio and its research and development initiatives. He played a key role in establishing the company’s digital offerings and restructuring its technology functions to enhance innovation. Prior to this, Wilson also served as executive vice president of service lines and technology, overseeing the entire development lifecycle of the company’s solutions. His professional background includes experience in Deloitte’s public sector practice and service as an Army officer before joining LMI.
