The 2026 Pacesetter Winners

The awards recognize people who used contract data to change how their organizations handle agreements.

Jennifer Schurer Coldiron of the King County Department of Community and Human Services took the Operations award, and Adam Wittenberg of U.S. Bank was named Force Multiplier.

Samantha Bates of W. L. Gore & Associates, Alyse Wilkinson of WSP, Tom Kelly of Equinix and Robin Wheeler of TKO were named Champions. "Every one of these winners saw something in their contracting process that could work better, then brought people together to change it," said Eric Laughlin, CEO at Agiloft. "The results are tangible: less manual work, clearer controls, and contract data that teams can use to make decisions."

Bates described the work at Gore. "Agiloft has helped Gore transform contracting into a more transparent, efficient, and data-driven process," she said, citing standardized workflows, automation and greater visibility into the contract portfolio.
