Leidos has promoted Jason Albanese to corporate executive vice president and chief growth officer effective March 3. He will succeed Gerry Fasano who will retire April 4.
Albanese currently serves as senior vice president of growth for the company’s National Security sector. His career has included assignments in growth, business development, program management and engineering.
“I want to congratulate Jason and thank Gerry for all he has done for our company, and our country, during a remarkable 40-year career,” said Leidos CEO Tom Bell. “Gerry built a strong team and an excellent long-term strategy. Jason will lead our work to differentiate Leidos as a trusted partner who helps make customers’ outcomes smarter and more efficient.”
Albanese will report to Bell and be central to implementing the company’s new NorthStar 2030 strategy. Earlier this month, Bell described that as “grounded in specific growth pillars where we know customer needs are growing, market profitability is robust, and Leidos differentiation is evident and accelerating.”
Albanese joined Leidos in 2017 after the merger with Lockheed Martin’s Information Systems and Global Solutions organization. He led strategy and business development for the company’s defense group, then held similar responsibilities for the health and intelligence businesses before assuming his role in the National Security sector.
