SAIC has named James “Jim” Reagan permanent CEO after his interim tenure, bringing nearly 40 years of experience, including two decades in senior leadership roles across the defense and government services industry.
SAIC Board Chair Donna Morea said the board unanimously selected Reagan after a full search process, citing his steady leadership over the past several months and his work with SAIC business leaders to drive innovation, speed and efficiency to support future growth and value for customers, shareholders and employees.
“I am honored by the Board’s decision and excited to continue the critical work we have begun to sharpen our focus, strengthen our execution and speed to market, and win,” Reagan said. “SAIC has a very strong future ahead and I am confident the efforts underway to further differentiate SAIC will generate more sustained, profitable growth in the coming years. I look forward to continuing to work with the Board and the talented SAIC team to achieve our goals.”
Earlier in his career, Reagan held chief financial officer roles at Vencore and PAE. He also served as chief financial officer of Aspect Communications and held senior roles at MCI Telecommunications, Nextel and AMS. He brings experience across cybersecurity and intelligence, IT, healthcare and national security.
Reagan has served on the SAIC board since January 2023 and was named interim CEO in October 2025.
