SAIC names executive VP, CFO

Reston-based Fortune 500 defense contractor Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) announced Thursday it has hired Prabu Natarajan as executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective Jan. 4, 2021.

Natarajan most recently worked with Falls Church-based Fortune 100 defense contractor Northrop Grumman Corp. as vice president for financial strategy and planning, vice president for mergers and acquisitions and acting vice president of tax. He will report directly to SAIC CEO Nazzic Keene and replaces Charlie Mathis, who announced his retirement earlier this year.

“We are confident that [Natarajan’s] leadership and impressive track record of success as a finance executive in the aerospace, defense and technology markets, as well as his ability to successfully execute on growth strategies, will bring tremendous value to our team as we execute our long-term growth strategy, advance our positions in key markets and deliver strong program performance,” Keene said in a statement.

Natarajan earned his bachelor of laws degree from the University of Madras, India, and his master’s degree in law from Harvard Law School. He has also previously worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and AES Corp.

SAIC employs more than 25,000 people and has pro forma annual revenues of $7.1 billion.
