Continues TCG’s Time-Honored Tradition of Hiring Excellent People

TCG Project Manager Alex Lin has been selected by Federal Computer Week as a 2015 Rising Star. The Rising Star program recognizes top public and private sector employees who have made an early and substantive mark in the government information technology community. Mr. Lin is the sixth TCGer to be recognized as a Rising Star. He is one of 14 individuals selected for the honor from a field of nominees culled from across government, contractors, and non-profits. The award announcement is posted on the FCW website and complete profiles of all awardees will be published in October.

Alex began his career as an electrical engineer before moving into the IT industry. He rose from a junior business analyst to Project Manager and ScrumMaster for the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) Integrity.gov project. Integrity.gov makes it easy for Senior Executive Service leaders and Presidential Appointees to file and review financial disclosure reports, as required by the STOCK Act, enhancing oversight of executive branch ethics and promoting transparency.

“I’m not surprised,” TCG President Dan Turner said about the award. “Alex has proven himself to be invaluable time and again for TCG and our clients. Normally reserved — a key aspect of his management style — I’ve heard that he has already invested in a platinum ring to mark the accomplishment.”
