Government Contractors | Technology 2025: SCHORER, STEVE

Schorer took on the top leadership role at Reston-based federal contractor Peraton in 2024 after former CEO Stu Shea announced his departure.

Peraton is a portfolio company of Veritas Capital and has more than 19,000 employees. Schorer previously served from 2017 to 2021 as CEO of Alion Science and Technology, which Huntington Ingalls Industries purchased for $1.65 billion from Veritas, and he served as a senior adviser for Veritas before taking the lead at Peraton. He was president of DynCorp International and in high-level positions at L-3 Communications and DRS Technologies.

In June, Peraton filed a protest after the U.S. Strategic Command awarded a $1.5 billion task order to General Dynamics Information Technology, a contract Peraton was competing for. In July, the company issued notice to the state of Texas that its $339.1 million NASA contract to operate the agency’s balloon facility in Texas could be cut as soon as Sept. 30, four years before its scheduled end.

Schorer has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Massachusetts and completed executive management training at the University of California Los Angeles.
