The North American business of Serco, which employs more than 9,000 people and offers a wide range of services to the American and Canadian governments, has appointed Tom Watson as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
Dave Dacquino, who will be leaving his full-time executive position in September and remaining as non-executive Chair of the organization’s Board of Directors in North America, will be replaced by him.
Tom Watson joined Serco in April 2018 and assumed the position of CEO after serving as Senior Vice President in charge of the company’s North American Defense division.
He has over 25 years of experience working for the federal government of the United States.
He was the Senior Vice President and General Manager of SAIC’s Navy and Marine Corps Customer Group before he joined Serco.
Before working for SAIC in 1996, Watson provided technical and engineering support for U.S. Navy intelligence systems at RCI (which was later acquired by Serco).
He also served as an electronics technician for six years on active service in the U.S. Navy; he has an MBA from the University of Maryland and a BS in information technology from National University.
