Peraton adds former Leidos exec to help lead intelligence business

Peraton has hired nearly two-decade Leidos veteran Brian Thompson as vice president and general manager for the intelligence mission solutions business unit.

That unit resides within Peraton’s space and intelligence sector. Thompson will be responsible for leading efforts in providing capabilities and expertise to intelligence community agencies, according to an email from a Peraton spokesperson.

Most recently, Thompson was senior vice president and operations manager at Leidos. He spent 19 years at Leidos and the “old” Science Applications International Corp., which split in 2013 into the companies now known as Leidos and SAIC.
