Matt Jones – CEO of Sigma Defense
Perry, GA, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sigma Defense today announced that President and CEO Matt Jones has been named 2026 GovCon CEO of the Year by the GovCon Leaders Circle, recognizing his leadership, business growth and impact across the government contracting community.
Since becoming CEO in 2021, Jones has led Sigma Defense through significant growth and transformation, including six strategic acquisitions and continued expansion of the company’s capabilities across CJADC2, C5ISR, DevSecOps and mission software, electronic warfare and tactical communications.
“This recognition belongs to the entire Sigma Defense team,” said Jones. “We’ve built this company around a simple idea: delivering meaningful capability to the warfighter comes first. That means moving with urgency, challenging the status quo and delivering solutions that perform in the real world. I’m incredibly proud of our people and what they accomplish every day in support of the mission.”
A former enlisted U.S. Navy cryptologist, Jones brings a warfighter perspective to Sigma Defense’s business and technology strategy. His results-driven leadership is reflected in an ethos he reinforces throughout the company: “Don’t talk about it. Be about it.”
Under Jones’ leadership, Sigma Defense has focused on bringing together innovative technology, specialized expertise and mission-focused companies to accelerate the delivery of operational capabilities to the Department of War. The company continues to expand its support across the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps, Army, Air Force and broader national security community.
