CSC: Prior To Head New Company

Computer Sciences Corp., in the process of separating into two companies, said today Larry Prior, who heads CSC's North American public sector business, is expected to lead the new, U.S. public sector-focused company.

In May, CSC said it would divide into two public companies: one focused on U.S. public sector clients and another for commercial and global government clients.

The U.S. public sector company, mostly made up of the NPS business, will be called Computer Sciences Government Services. Prior is anticipated to be both president and chief executive of the new company, "pending approval of the new company's board of directors," CSC said.

Prior previously was an executive at BAE Systems, ManTech International and Science Applications International Corp.
