Serco appoints Tom Watson as North America boss

by | Jul 12, 2022

Serco said on Tuesday that it has appointed Tom Watson as chief executive officer of its North American division.
The division employs more than 9,000 people and delivers a wide range of services to the US and Canadian governments.

Watson will succeed Dave Dacquino, who will be retiring from his full-time executive role in September and will continue to serve as non-executive chair of the company’s board of directors in North America.

Watson joined Serco in April 2018 and steps into the CEO role from his position as senior vice president for the North America Defense business. He has more than 25 years of experience in providing services to the US Federal Government.

Prior to joining Serco, he served as senior vice president and general manager of SAIC’s Navy and Marine Corps Customer Group.

Chief executive Rupert Soames said: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Tom Watson as successor to Dave Dacquino following a rigorous selection process involving both internal and external candidates, and I look forward to seeing him take the organisation forward at a time when the division has strong momentum.

“Tom has done a tremendous job leading our North America Defense business, and has demonstrated a real commitment to Serco’s mission, customers, and colleagues; he has also been closely involved in the recent acquisitions of WBB and Alion’s naval systems business unit.”
