Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) today announced that Samuel Gordy has been appointed as general manager of the company’s Integrated Systems Group (ISG) under the National Security Sector (NSS). The NSS, along with SAIC’s current health and engineering businesses, will be part of the solutions company Leidos following the company’s planned separation.
Gordy will lead a team of nearly 3,800 employees to develop and integrate high-end intelligence solutions that support a wide range of customers in the U.S. and abroad.
“I’m honored to be selected for this position, and look forward to working with the incredibly talented and dedicated men and women of the Integrated Systems Group as we execute our strategy and meet the mission needs of our customers,” said Gordy.
Gordy’s most recent position at SAIC was as acting general manager of ISG. Since joining the firm, he has served in technical analysis, program management, and line management roles at all levels in the company. He has supported a wide range of Intelligence Community clients and has worked intelligence issues at all levels including tactical support, combat/crisis operations, and national/strategic level requirements.
“Sam has done a great job driving the strategy and trajectory of ISG as we transition to Leidos, and he is deeply experienced in supporting our customers in vital national security areas,” said Lou Von Thaer, president of NSS. “These qualifications combine to make him the best choice for this position.”
Gordy has more than 28 years of experience in the Intelligence Community as both an active duty naval intelligence officer and as a contractor. He began his career as an active duty Intelligence Officer with the U.S. Navy in 1985. Gordy was directly involved in naval operations responding to the Soviet Union, freedom of navigation involving Libya, anti-terrorist operations in the Middle East, and combat support activity for Operation Just Cause (Panama) and Operation Desert Shield/Storm (Iraq).
