“With Sid’s track record and years of experience as an accomplished leader, business executive, and as MacB President and CEO, I’m thrilled to welcome him as COO for the entire Alion organization,” said Chairman and CEO Steve Schorer. “Following the acquisition of MacB last year, Sid has played a key role in our ongoing integration, reorganization, and infrastructure planning so that Alion emerges even stronger in the GovCon space with a focus on emerging technologies in ISR, electronic warfare, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data analytics, and cloud solutions.”
“The transformation of the combined companies into one outstanding enterprise will more than strengthen our ability to provide mission critical services and solutions that our customers have come to expect,” said Mr. Fuchs. “In my new role as COO, I look forward to working alongside talented and experienced senior leaders at Alion, MacB, and Veritas Capital to take Alion into 2019 and beyond.”
Mr. Fuchs is an accomplished thought leader, business executive, published author, and National Security authority with more than 30 years of experience transforming engineering and technology companies and organizations. As President, CEO, and a Director of MacB, he led the transformation of the company from a predominantly U.S. Air Force SETA contractor to a high-end engineering, product, and solutions company that resulted in a highly successful exit in 2018.
Prior to MacB, Fuchs was the president and CEO of OAO Technology Solutions (acquired in 2010), the CEO and a director of ATS Corporation (acquired in 2012) and the President and CEO of TASC, a Northrop Grumman subsidiary which he led to over $1.2B in revenue. He is a former Central Intelligence Agency officer, having served at domestic and foreign posts in a variety of operations, technical, and management positions.
