SAIC reorganizes business units

Science Applications International Corp. announced today the company will reorganize its business units.

Effective Oct. 31, the start of SAIC's fourth quarter, the company will operate with two major lines of business: defense and civilian led by Bob Genter, and national security and space led by Michael LaRouche, according to an SAIC statement.

"This structure will enable SAIC to accelerate strategic growth priorities in areas such as digital engineering, digital transformation, and space," the statement reads.

The reorganization stems from the planned retirement of Jim Scanlon, who leads the defense systems group.

"With Jim's retirement, we reevaluated our organizational structure, as we always look to best align with our business strategy and growth priorities," Nazzic Keene, SAIC's chief executive, said in the statement.

Scanlon will remain with the company until Jan. 29 "to support a smooth transition to the new organization structure," the company said.
