2026 Virginia Power 50 List: STEVE SCHORER
CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT AND CEO, PERATON, RESTON
Virginia Business //March 1, 2026//
Schorer took on the top leadership role at Reston-based federal contractor Peraton in 2024.
Peraton is a portfolio company of Veritas Capital and has more than 17,000 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.
In June 2025, Peraton filed a protest after the U.S. Strategic Command awarded a $1.5 billion task order to General Dynamics Information Technology, but it lost the protest last September. The company’s 2025 revenue is expected to be about $8 billion, with a slight decrease from 2024 possible.
In October 2025, Peraton filed notification with the state that it intended to lay off 92 staffers at its headquarters in December.
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.
