John Saad
Partner & National Security Sector Leader, Guidehouse
This past year, Guidehouse has focused on corporate growth initiatives that all revolve around its commitment to help clients meet their most important challenges with innovative, mission-centric solutions.
“While we have always had a collaborative culture, we are building more channels and capabilities across our firm to share scalable solutions,” said John Saad, national security sector leader at Guidehouse
Guidehouse’s investment in its capabilities around growth are significantly greater than ever before, and its success has allowed Saad and his team to invest strategically. As an example, the recent acquisition of Dovel Technologies enabled Guidehouse to deliver end-to-end solutions for clients.
For many of the national security clients Saad works with, complementing management consulting with this strong technology capability will greatly benefit their missions.
“John is always committed to excellence,” said Scott McIntyre, CEO of Guidehouse. “He’s got a tremendous command of this domain, and the professional team he built at Guidehouse is a testament to his strong leadership and vision. John is a capable, accomplished leader who delivers results. With integrity and humility, he is constantly seeking to find new, creative ways to deliver increased value to his clients.”
