Rich Sawchak

CEO, Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc

Rich Sawchak recently joined Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., which has been a top provider of innovative solutions for over 50 years, supporting critical national security objectives and defense priorities. He is now leading the company’s strategy as it moves forward.

Sawchak plans to enhance SPA’s standing as a company that collaborates with its clients to provide excellent solutions, by growing the company internally and through strategic acquisitions that can expand the customer base and skill set. He notes that SPA, already well known for “Results that Matter,” has an exceptionally talented and dedicated team of over 1,500 professionals.

“We continuously leverage the integrity, skills and experience of our employees to deliver the highest quality solutions,” he said. “As I get to know our global team located across three continents, I realize what an honor it is to be part of SPA and enable the execution of our strategic plan.”

 Why Watch

Sawchak is no stranger to leadership positions in great companies. He has a proven record of driving technology companies to succeed through financial scalability, operational excellence and people-first culture. He has served as chief financial officer of Hypori and Novetta (until its successful acquisition by Accenture). He gained significant experience in business operations, corporate finance and acquisition execution and integration through these and other roles.

David Wodlinger, a managing partner of Arlington Capital Partners and chairman of SPA, said:

“Rich is exactly the right leader to guide SPA through its next phase of expansion and development. His focus on consistency and clarity in planning and execution will drive SPA to even greater achievements.”
