Falls Church-based General Dynamics Information Technology has named Paul Tartaglione as its new chief growth officer, the company, a subsidiary of Fortune 500 contractor General Dynamics, announced Monday.

Tartaglione started in his new role Monday. He joined GDIT from McLean-based Fortune 500 management consultancy Booz Allen Hamilton, where he most recently served as senior vice president and partner leading several IT services programs for a range of federal agencies. He follows interim chief growth officer Ben Gianni, who served in the position for six months in addition to his role as GDIT’s chief technology officer.

“Paul brings more than 20 years of experience as a technology and cybersecurity executive and senior consultant in the federal IT services space,” GDIT President Amy Gilliland said in a statement. “He is a respected leader with an impressive track record of operational execution, business development and driving growth in large organizations. I look forward to accelerating our progress across our growth strategies under Paul’s leadership.”

Tartaglione earned his MBA and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Rochester and has numerous industry certifications, GDIT said in a news release.

General Dynamics employs more than 100,000 people worldwide and in 2022 reported $39.4 billion in revenue, an increase of 2.4% from 2021. GDIT employs more than 30,000 people, including 8,250 in Virginia.
