Government Contractors | Technology | Aerospace 2025: JOHN S. MENGUCCI

Previously CACI’s chief operating officer and president of U.S. operations, in 2019 Mengucci became president and CEO of the contractor, which made the Fortune 500 this year. CACI has 25,000 employees worldwide and reported $7.7 billion in fiscal 2024 revenue, up 14% from 2023.
Before CACI, Mengucci was president of Lockheed Martin’s information systems and global solutions civil segment.

CACI completed its $1.27 billion acquisition of Fairfax-based Azure Summit Technology in October 2024. That month, CACI also bought Reston’s Applied Insight.

In CACI’s third-quarter earnings call, Mengucci estimated the financial impact of recent Trump administration federal cuts to be about $1 million. CACI raised the minimum of its fiscal 2025 revenue forecast, projecting $8.55 billion to $8.65 billion.

In November 2024, a federal jury found CACI liable for the abuse two decades earlier of three Iraqi detainees at Abu Ghraib and awarded the men $42 million. CACI’s attorneys maintained there was no evidence its workers participated in abuse. As of early August, the company had not said whether it will appeal the verdict.

A Clarkson University and Syracuse University graduate, Mengucci is vice chair of Clarkson’s board of trustees and serves on the Professional Services Council’s executive committee.
