PROJECT 38: Inside Serco’s monster year

In our continuing series of Top 100 related podcasts, Serco Inc. CEO Dave Dacquino explains how the company started laying the groundwork years ago for a monster 2019.

Last year, Serco Group’s U.S. subsidiary posted 20 percent organic growth and closed the $336 million acquisition of the Navy design business of Alion Science & Technology. But getting there required serious soul searching and a focus on changing the company’s culture that relied too much on low-price bids. Those moves helped the company land at No. 34 on the 2020 Washington Technology Top 100.

Dacquino and his team continue to look for deficiencies as the company looks to pursue more complex work. He shares with Editor-in-Chief Nick Wakeman how they have done that and is what next for the company.
