Serco hires SAIC vet as chief technology officer

After nearly a decade working at Reston-based Fortune 500 federal contractor Science Applications International Corp., Andy Henson has moved to Herndon-based federal contractor Serco as chief technology officer, according to a Tuesday announcement.

“We are excited to welcome Andy to Serco North America,” Serco North America CEO Michael LaRouche said in a news release. “His experience delivering technology solutions across complex environments in can’t-fail situations and his focus on execution will help us deliver faster and better outcomes for our customers.”

At the North American subsidiary of British parent company Serco Group, Henson will lead technology strategy, drive innovation, strengthen technical capabilities and support the company’s growth in delivering services to government customers.

Henson succeeds Don Styer, who became the company’s senior vice president of strategic execution Tuesday, according to a company spokesperson. Styer had served as CTO since 2023 and joined Serco in 2016, according to his LinkedIn profile.

During his career at SAIC, Henson held leadership roles overseeing advanced analytics and solution delivery initiatives within the company’s solutions and technology team, its intelligence community portfolio and its defense agencies and combatant commands market.

During the early stages of the war in Ukraine, Henson supported U.S. European Command by helping introduce new capabilities in real time, according to the news release.

“It has been an incredible journey, working with some of the smartest people that care about this country and the missions that continue to preserve it,” Henson wrote about his SAIC career in a LinkedIn post.

Earlier in his career, Henson worked at Booz Allen Hamilton as a data science domain subject matter expert, according to his LinkedIn profile. Henson earned a degree in international business from the University of Akron.

LaRouche joined Serco in October 2025, succeeding Tom Watson, who stepped down after seven years with the company.

The U.S. Army recently awarded Serco a five-year contract to support the Army Planning Programming Budgeting Business Operating System, according to a May 19 announcement. The work includes software development, systems engineering and cloud infrastructure support.

Serco has more than 100 sites across North America and more than 10,000 employees across the United States and Canada. In May 2025, it completed its $327 million purchase of Northrop Grumman’s mission training and satellite ground network communications software business.
