Dan Ford Steps Into Chief Executive Role at Capgemini
Ford was appointed CEO of Capgemini Government Solutions in 2024, after nearly two decades of service at the company. Before he assumed the responsibilities of chief executive, he served as vice president and head of U.S. Federal Sectors at the technology services provider. He joined Capgemini in 2006 as a capability leader, portfolio manager and program manager.
The executive has been instrumental in the company’s acquisition of VariQ, an IT services provider, in 2021 and Unity’s Government Professional Services arm in 2024.
Under Ford’s leadership, Capgemini has also started exploring the potential of quantum computing to enhance 5G networks. The company also partnered with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to evaluate the use of quantum computing for carbon capture.
