 From http://cs.fit.edu/~ryan/ada/ada-hist.html it says:

"Request for proposals were issued April 1977; 17 proposals
received. Four contractors were picked to produce prototype languages:

     Cii Honeywell Bull led by Jean Ichbiah (green)
     Intermetrics led by Benjamin M. Brosgol (red)
     SofTech led by John Goodenough (blue)
     SRI International led by Jay Spitzen (yellow)"

So the names of the persons are above. May be this can help
in googling them more?

Here is info on the red one:
