Science Applications International Corp. will reorganize its business, effective Feb. 3. This move aims to boost consistent, natural growth and align with the company’s four main strategies: product range, market approach, company culture and brand identity.
The reorganization will help SAIC be more focused and flexible in investing to promote innovation, stand out in the market, and create lasting value, the company said.
The current Defense and Civilian Sector and National Security and Space Sector will be replaced by five new business groups: Army, Navy, Air Force and Combatant Commands, Space and Intelligence, and Civilian. The new Civilian group will encompass the current Civilian, Health and State and Local businesses.
The company said this flatter organization is designed to improve customer intimacy for the executive leadership team, who will work closely with the new business group leaders to advance SAIC’s innovation and go-to-market strategy and drive improved cross collaboration, business development and organic growth.
“SAIC has an unmatched history of partnering with our nation’s most critical mission-driven government customers and offering a best-in-class portfolio of capabilities,” said SAIC CEO Toni Townes-Whitley. “As we look ahead, we are becoming a more focused and growth-oriented SAIC that realizes the full potential of our differentiators, fueled by our innovation factory. This builds upon our recent decision to centralize our business development function to prioritize the quality and pace at which we execute our market opportunities.”
Four of the five new business groups will be led by current SAIC senior vice presidents, who will be promoted to executive vice president and report directly to Townes-Whitley.
Josh Jackson, Barbara Supplee, Vinnie DiFronzo and David Ray will lead the Army, Navy, Air Force and Combatant Commands and Space and Intelligence business groups, respectively. An external search for the Civilian business group is underway.
Bob Genter, president of the Defense and Civilian Sector, and Michael LaRouche, president of the National Security and Space Sector, will leave the company to pursue other opportunities.
“On behalf of all of SAIC, I would like to thank Bob and Michael for their leadership and meaningful contributions to SAIC,” Townes-Whitley said. “I would also like to congratulate Josh, Barbara, Vinnie, and David on their promotions. Each brings unique expertise and experience that I am confident will best position us to execute our strategic vision and support our customers as they navigate complex national security challenges.”
