SAIC enacted a significant SAIC business realignment, condensing its organizational structure from five separate business groups down to three focused units. This strategic move, which takes effect on January 31, aims to simplify operations, strengthen the company’s focus on its customers, and accelerate both growth and shareholder value.
Interim CEO James Reagan emphasized that these changes immediately position the company to capitalize on new opportunities for value creation and align investments more closely with those potential returns. By optimizing for speed, flexibility, and efficiency, SAIC expects to better serve its government customers across all domains.
New Consolidated Structure Drives Efficiency
The organizational shuffle creates three distinct business groups, tailored to the specific needs of major defense and civilian clients.
First, the company now forms the Army-Navy business group (ANG). This new group integrates the previous dedicated U.S. Army and U.S. Navy business units, creating a unified leadership approach for two of the largest defense branches.
Second, SAIC establishes the Air Force, Space and Intelligence business group (AFSI). This large unit merges the existing Air Force and Combatant Commands group with the Space and Intelligence business group. This consolidation recognizes the increasingly integrated nature of air, space, and intelligence operations for agencies like the U.S. Air Force and the broader Intelligence Community.
Finally, the existing Civilian business group maintains its structure, continuing to provide dedicated support to non-defense government agencies.
Leadership Appointments Define Future Focus
To lead the newly streamlined organization, SAIC appointed new executive leadership for two of the three groups. Barbara Supplee, formerly the executive vice president of the Navy business group, assumes leadership of the new ANG. Vinnie DiFronzo, previously the executive vice president for the Air Force and Combatant Commands business group, takes charge of the AFSI unit. Srini Attili retains his leadership role over the Civilian business group, ensuring continuity in that sector.
This SAIC business realignment also prompted several executive changes. The company announced the departure of three key leaders: Josh Jackson, EVP of the Army business group; David Ray, EVP of the Space and Intelligence business group; and Lauren Knausenberger, the Chief Innovation Officer.
The company will also restructure the Chief Innovation Office to better align its focus with the three consolidated business groups and their respective markets. Reagan extended deep gratitude to the departing executives for their significant contributions and dedication to advancing the company’s mission.
The strategic changes signal SAIC’s commitment to driving faster decision-making and improving operational alignment across its vast government portfolio, ensuring the firm accelerates value for both its customers and its shareholders.
