Cindy Castillo
Owner & CEO
CSSI
CSSI’s Owner & CEO (that’s ‘Chief Enthusiastic Officer’, according to Cindy Castillo) has transformed research into reality for their customers through their “value proposition”, fun, a perhaps a healthy dose of lingering competitive drive left over from her college soccer days. Her firm is an 8(a) graduate and still a current woman-owned, small business serving federal customers.

ManTech Muscles Up With Latest Acquisition
November 26, 2007 by Brian Lustig
Acquisitions tend to come in three flavors: those that leave you scratching your head as to why either party would pursue the transaction; those that leave you scratching your head why one party would pursue the transaction; and finally those that leave you nodding your head approvingly.

25 years at the helm: John C. Lee of Lee Technologies
November 19, 2007 by Brian Lustig
John is the second most common first name among American males. Lee is the 24th most common last name among Americans (Lustig, sadly, did not crack the top 1,000). And, as you can imagine, there are thousands of John Lee’s in the U.S., and several multiples more than that throughout the world. In fact, a quick Google search finds individuals of that name here in D.C. with occupations ranging from massage therapist to human resources manager to teacher. As prevalent as it may be, mention the name within the Greater Washington business and technology communities and only one person comes to mind. And that person is, well, John Lee.

Regional tech leaders plant seeds for start-up growth
November 15, 2007 by Brian Lustig
At times, entrepreneurs seeking funding through the traditional venture capital process can start to feel like Michael J. Fox’s character in “Secret of My Success.” As a newly-minted college graduate who leaps from small town, USA to the Big Apple, Fox’s character shuttles from one interview to another, only to hear the same refrain: “We can’t hire you without job experience.” Fox commonsensically replies: “How can I gain experience if no one gives me a job.”
