Meet Our Leadership Team

     Mary solely launched Significance in 2014 after owning, starting, and growing a successful government consulting company in the DC area. Prior to that, she worked in sales and consulting in the technology sector, helping both commercial and public sector companies solve business problems and accomplish organizational goals through enterprise software and consulting with a deliverable solution. Inspired by her father’s entrepreneurial spirit and success, Mary is driven to understand clients’ challenges and help provide innovative solutions to fill niche needs in government program processes and corporate services. She achieves this by building trusted relationships and recruiting and retaining experts in their fields, which has been a hallmark of her career. 

      In creating Significance, Mary had a vision to build a company that reflects her values and work ethic. She is passionate about making sure her employees and clients feel they have “significance” by building a culture that reflects a focus on meaningful relationships, integrity, and collaboration. This makes working FOR and WITH Significance a positive experience and a lot of fun! 

      Mary is a graduate of the University of Maryland and lives in Annapolis, Maryland, with her three children and spends her free time working out, boating, spending time with friends, and improving her newly developing pickleball skills.  

      Leticia Tamayo is the Founder and CEO of Tamayo Federal Solutions (TFS), a growing federal contracting firm supporting customers across the U.S. and abroad. Since acquiring and rebranding the company in 2014, Leticia has transformed TFS into a multi-million-dollar enterprise known for its dedication to mission success, meaningful partnerships, and people-first culture. 

      With nearly three decades of leadership experience in business development, operations, and program management, most of it within the federal space—Leticia brings both strategic insight and a deeply personal touch to her work. A proud Hispanic woman, mother, and grandmother (“Nai Nai”), she leads with gratitude and authenticity, guided by her belief to “never forget where you come from.” The Tamayo name, her family name, represents that value—honoring her roots while serving as a daily reminder of the importance of family, community, and collaboration. 

      Leticia is a graduate of Old Dominion University and continues to be inspired by the TFS team’s commitment to excellence and the positive impact they deliver to their customers every day.
