“Growth Through Good and Bad Times — The SAIC Story”
San Diego Chapter June 27, 2013 meeting
BRoperedited0406

SAIC was founded in 1969 by Bob Beyster, a Ph. D. nuclear physicist, who started the company with two employees and $10,000 in capital. Bill Roper was EVP and CFO of SAIC from 1990 to 2007. During this period the company grew from $800 Million in annual revenues to more than $8 Billion. The company’s growth was driven by an entrepreneurial culture and a number of smaller acquisitions that expanded its technology capabilities and customer base. Bill went on to be President & CEO of VeriSign and President of ADS, Inc.,

Please join us on Thursday, June 27, 2013, 7:30am – 9:00am PST, when, based on his experiences with SAIC and other great companies, Bill Roper will share with us insights on how to grow your company through both good and bad times.

The meeting will consist of Mr. Roper’s presentation and opportunities for open group discussion and networking.
