Serco appoints new CEO in North American division

 

23 September 2025

 

Serco, the international provider of critical services to governments
announces the appointment of Michael LaRouche as Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
of Serco's North American division effective 1 October 2025.

 

With over 30 years of business and engineering leadership across defence and
adjacent sectors for both US and international customers, Michael brings deep
expertise to lead the expansion of Serco's North American division. He brings
a strong track record of delivering growth and prior to joining Serco was
Business President at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC),
having previously held leadership positions at Lockheed Martin and Raytheon
Company.

 

Serco's North American business has strong momentum having more than doubled
revenue to around $2bn since 2017 with a growing position in the US defence
services market. Michael has delivered systems, products, and services across
US Defence and Federal/Civilian Agencies, with proven leadership to
space/ground, air, land, sea, and cyber customers which are highly relevant to
Serco's strategy and growth ambitions.

 

Anthony Kirby, Serco Group Chief Executive, said:

"Michael is an excellent appointment for Serco, and I am delighted to welcome
him as our CEO for North America. Michael is a strategic leader and has deep
experience in growing businesses, in the United States and internationally.

 

The US and Canadian markets represent significant growth opportunities for
Serco. I look forward to Michael taking our North American business forward
for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders at a time when
the division has strong momentum.

 

I want to express my sincere thanks to Tom Watson as he steps down. Tom has
built our North American business successfully over recent years and has led
our teams to deliver first-class support to our customers. Everyone at Serco
wishes him well for the future."

 

Ends.
