Peraton prepares to reshape again with Perspecta buy

摘要

Peraton earlier this month rolled out a new structure of four sectors - but that organization will only be temporary as the company prepares to complete another significant acquisition.Earlier this month, Peraton and its private-equity owner Veritas Capital picked up the IT services business of Northrop Grumman and moved from its two-unit structure into four business units. Additionally, Peraton announced several new leadership roles for top Northrop executives.In an interview with Inside Defense, Stu Shea, Peraton's chief executive, said the company is ready to remake itself again once its planned acquisition of Perspecta is complete.The latest addition will take the company from about $3.5 billion in annual sales to more than $7 billion."Now, we have four sectors that have been together for a grand total of a couple of weeks," Shea said. "In two and a half months or so, we will close on the Perspecta transaction, and I will inherit seven new organizations."He said the company will work to determine the appropriate number of sectors, and "we'll go through the same process." Shea said the new, much larger company will be able to bid on many more sizeable programs.
