Reston-based tech and network security company Electrosoft Services Inc. announced Tuesday that it promoted Justin Lapington to the role of chief financial officer.

Lapington had been the company’s vice president of finance since September 2020. He led the implementation of a new resource planning system and expanded the finance team.

“Justin has been instrumental in building and maturing our back-office teams, systems and processes,” Electrosoft CEO Sarbari Gupta said in a statement. “I am proud to appoint Justin to the role of CFO, recognizing his leadership and expertise in facilitating the company’s growth journey.”

Before joining Electrosoft, Lapington worked with Reston-based government contractor Preferred Systems Solutions Inc., now Solerity Inc., overseeing operations for the firm’s government services that accounts for more than $150 million in annual revenue. He also served as a financial consultant to Electrosoft.

“Knowing that Electrosoft has never taken on debt in its 20-year history, I was impressed with the company and its leadership even before joining the team,” he said in a statement. “It’s an honor to assume this new role and to be a part of all that’s next for Electrosoft.”

Lapington holds an accounting degree from Centenary College of Louisiana.

Founded in 2001, Electrosoft offers cybersecurity, enterprise IT operations and software services for government clients. The company is a small disadvantaged business and an economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business.
