Foster began his government contracting career with Northrop Grumman (formerly Litton PRC) where he ultimately served as the CFO of the Civil Systems Division, Cyber Solutions Division, and Intelligence Systems Division. He also held various other leadership positions across Health IT, DoD, Commercial, State and Local portfolios.

'We are pleased to have Gordon Foster join the Serco team. He is an accomplished leader with vast experience in the government contracting industry. He will be a great leader as we continue to expand our operations in North America,' said Dave Dacquino. 'Gordon has a proven track record of leading financial organizations and delivering outstanding results. We look forward to his contributions towards the company's future growth.'

Gary Shankman announced his plans to retire as CFO to devote more time supporting his elderly parents. 'Gary has been an invaluable member of Serco's Executive Management Team and made countless contributions to the Company. He has been one of the most devoted and hardworking individuals here at Serco. On behalf of the entire Serco family, we wish Gary a happy and fulfilling retirement,' commented Dave Dacquino.
