vice president of Government Affairs, effective immediately.
Bonsell will lead SAIC Government Affairs supporting SAIC's
strategic objectives through engagement with federal executive
branch officials, members of Congress and their staffs, and state
and local officials.
“We are incredibly excited for John to rejoin SAIC. He brings
extensive industry knowledge and government experience as well as
his in-depth working knowledge of the Department of Defense. John
will continue to push SAIC further in meeting our customers’ needs
as they navigate their digital transformation journeys,” said SAIC
CEO Nazzic Keene.
Bonsell worked at SAIC for eight years, first as a consultant
from 2007 to 2012 and later as a vice president within Government
Affairs from 2015 to 2018. Prior to returning to SAIC, he was the
Majority Staff director for the Senate Armed Services Committee
where he managed the confirmation oversight responsibilities of the
committee, and was primarily focused on the Department of Defense
and other related security functions of the government.
Earlier in his career, Bonsell served as the ranking staff
director for the Senate Armed Services Committee and was the
legislative director and deputy chief of staff for Sen. James
Inhofe. During his military service with the Army, he served as
chief of concepts and doctrine for the Army. He earned a bachelor’s
degree in political science and government from Penn State
University.
Bonsell succeeds SAIC Senior Vice President Tom Eldridge, who
will retire this spring. “Tom will remain with SAIC through April
to ensure a successful transition. I want to thank him for more
than 11 years with SAIC and for all of his contributions to our
success,” Keene said.
“It has been a privilege to work at SAIC with so many talented
and innovative colleagues,” said Eldridge. “I am incredibly excited
about SAIC’s future and will work with John for a smooth
transition.”
