Civil & Health: This sector delivers advanced, mission-specific technology solutions for citizen and human services agencies, and will be led by Tarik Reyes, previously vice president of Civil & Health at Northrop Grumman.
Additionally, Peraton has created three new executive leadership roles.
- Chief Performance Officer Erik Buice is responsible for ensuring the adoption and application of quality and certification standards across Peraton’s portfolio.
- Chief Strategy Officer Chris Valentino is tasked with leading the strategic market creation of Peraton.
- Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer Laila Salguero is charged with working across Peraton’s sectors and functions to help align the company’s DE&I goals with measurable business outcomes.
“I am thrilled to welcome Tom, Tarik, Erik, Chris, and Laila to Peraton’s executive leadership team,” said Peraton Chairman, President and CEO Stu Shea. “As Peraton expands we will be faced with a complex range of new opportunities and challenges across our functions and businesses, and I am confident that our new leaders will be integral to Peraton’s success.”
