“It has been a privilege to lead SAIC and work with the Company’s dedicated and talented people,” said Toni Townes-Whitley. “I have collaborated closely with Jim during my time here, and I have the utmost confidence in his and the team’s ability to capitalize on and fully realize the Company’s growth prospects. With its talented employees, SAIC is in good hands until a permanent CEO is appointed.”
Mr. Reagan is a seasoned executive, with nearly two decades of senior leadership experience in the defense and government services industry. He brings deep knowledge and understanding of the sector, SAIC’s customers and commitment to advancing their mission, in addition to his extensive expertise across cybersecurity and intelligence, information technology and healthcare, and national security. Most recently, Mr. Reagan served as Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer for Leidos Holdings.

Mr. Reagan is deeply familiar with the SAIC business, having served as a member of the Board since January 2023.
Ms. Morea continued, “Jim’s experience as a member of the SAIC Board, together with his impressive track record in senior leadership roles across the industry, provides a cross-section of skills that make him well suited to serve as Interim CEO. SAIC has a solid, customer-focused foundation in place, supported by a strong qualified pipeline and planned submit levels and a backlog of pending awards. We are confident that under Jim’s stewardship, the Company will improve performance while continuing to serve its valued customers by advancing the power of technology and innovation to serve and protect our world.”

With compelling opportunities ahead and continued momentum in our business development efforts, I am confident that SAIC is poised to deliver attractive growth and value creation. I look forward to working closely with the Board, management, and the whole SAIC team to deliver wins and shareholder value while strengthening the Company’s foundation as we continue to position SAIC for the future.”
