Exiger’s Carrie Wibben Honored with National Defense Industrial Association’s Dr. Desmond G. Newman Award for Supply Chain Excellence

Award from the leading defense industry association recognizes outstanding contributions and support of the Defense Industrial Base.

New York, NY and Washington, D.C., Feb. 22, 2023. Exiger, a global leading third-party and supply chain management software company, today announced that President of Government Solutions Carrie Wibben is the recipient of the National Defense Industrial Association’s Dr. Desmond G. Newman Award for Supply Chain Excellence. The award honors the year’s most meaningful contributions to supply chain management, particularly in support of the Defense Industrial Base.

Wibben has been at the frontlines of Exiger’s efforts to help the U.S. Federal Government solve today’s most complex supply chain, third party risk and compliance challenges. She has brought Exiger’s innovative technology and expertise to the Department of Defense and other Federal agencies, including the Department of Energy, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and the General Services Administration, as well as the entire Defense Industrial Base.

Exiger’s proprietary real-time supply chain management technology is transforming the supply chain management discipline. Responding to growing demands on companies and governments alike, Exiger’s platform allows users to rapidly surface, understand and mitigate critical threats and delivers unparalleled transparency to manage complex global supply chains.

Exiger was recently awarded a first-of-its-kind, $74.5 million multi-year contract by the U.S. General Services Administration as its trusted partner to deliver a supply chain risk and third-party risk management enhanced capability, made available to the entire U.S. Federal Government. As part of the contract, Wibben’s team is working closely across agencies to create a common community of interest and an unprecedented supplier risk information sharing capability. Over 40 government organizations have deployed Exiger’s enterprise solution to strengthen resiliency in the sub-tier supplier ecosystem while bolstering national defenses against adversarial targeting and intellectual property (IP) theft.

Wibben’s team was also involved in the U.S. Federal Government’s COVID-19 response in early 2020, during which Exiger’s platform was deployed to rapidly discover and conduct deep due diligence on tens of thousands of global medical suppliers to enable the safe and reliable procurement of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and PPE.
