CSRA names two new executives

CSRA, the new company created by combining Computer Sciences Corp.'s U.S. public sector work with SRA International, said Monday it has named two new executives to its leadership team.

Christian Marrone, who reported to Secretary Jeh Johnson as chief of staff of the Department of Homeland Security, will head CSRA's government relations efforts.

Leigh Palmer, who most recently served as vice president of national information technology mission solutions at BAE Systems, has been named vice president of CSRA's intelligence group.

The high-profile appointments follow CSRA's formation in late November. The company, which is now the largest government services contractor with about $5.5 billion in annual sales, is seeking to establish itself as a government-focused business with commercial practices.
