Sheila Blackwell, Chief Marketing Officer of MANTECH, will be one of the regional marketing leaders to join the CMO Outlook Session at the 2026 Mid-Atlantic MarCom Summit and ADWKDC to be held October 14 in Washington, DC.
Blackwell leads the marketing and communications team as it develops and executes campaigns that support MANTECH’s strategic direction, revenue growth, brand recognition and reputation as the Employer of Choice in the government contracting marketplace. She has a 25-year track record as a Communications & Marketing professional and leader, with a deep knowledge of the federal and commercial space.
Previously, she served as Director of Corporate Communications for Neustar, where she led external communications and P.R. and worked with Human Resources to drive corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs supporting STEM education, philanthropy, diversity and inclusion in the workplace and sustainability.
Before that, she was Vice President of Communications & Marketing Communications for government contractors, including FCi Federal (now PAE), Decision Sciences International (DSIC), and SRA International (now GDIT). Earlier in her career, she worked for IBM (commercial and federal sectors), MCI (public policy P.R.), and Cable & Wireless. She started her communications career as a TV news reporter in upstate New York.
The CMO Outlook keynote panel brings together leading marketing and communication executives from leading Mid-Atlantic companies to discuss their outlook for 2027— and beyond. This “big picture” panel sets the table for the summit by exploring topics that will be analyzed throughout the day in breakout sessions. What trends are these executives closely watching? What strategies are they most excited about for next year? What is keeping them up at night? What technologies and platforms are they paying the most attention to at present?
