Dan Ford, who previously served as vice president of U.S federal and national security sectors at Capgemini Government Solutions, has been elevated to CEO of the company.
During Ford’s nearly 20-year tenure at Capgemini, he has worked to help government agencies evolve using new technologies, the McLean, Virginia-based organization announced Wednesday.
Jim Bailey, CEO of Capgemini in the Americas and group executive board member, said, “Dan has been a key driver behind the growth in the Capgemini Government Solutions business, and we have every confidence that he will successfully continue strengthening and deepening the company’s long-term value.”
Ford will succeed Bill Webner, who stepped down from the role to pursue new ventures.
“His leadership will bring a new perspective while we continue to innovate with our clients and compete in the federal marketplace,” Bailey added.
Throughout his career, Ford has worked within the civilian, health, national security and defense sectors. He received a Master of Engineering in Logistics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics from Davidson College.
