Peraton has appointed Salim Omar as CFO after serving as acting CFO and spending over a decade in senior finance leadership roles with the company and its predecessor organizations.
“I am pleased to announce Salim’s promotion to Chief Financial Officer,” said Peraton Chairman and CEO Steve Schorer. “During his time at Peraton, Salim has helped accelerate our momentum and further position the company to drive growth, elevate performance, and deliver superior mission impact for our customers.
I am confident that, in his new role, Salim will reinforce the financial rigor and strategic clarity that our investors and partners expect.”
Omar has led large-scale operational improvement and restructuring initiatives that led to enhanced working capital, stronger financial systems and substantial cost efficiencies, the company said. He also played key roles in mergers and acquisitions, public market transactions, post-merger integrations and divestitures.
Prior to Peraton, Omar held leadership roles at Perspecta, Vencore, ManTech and SAIC, and began his career at the Federal Reserve Board.
“I am honored to lead Peraton’s finance operations at such a pivotal moment,” said Omar. “Our finance and leadership teams have built a strong foundation of fiscal resilience and disciplined execution. I look forward to building on that foundation as we advance our strategic priorities and continue to deliver unmatched mission capability for our customers.”
