A 1959 graduate of the Naval Academy, naval aviator and retired reserve captain, Dr. London has served as CACI’s chief executive officer since 1984. He has dedicated his efforts to building CACI into one of the U.S. government’s premier technology partners.

Panneton, National President of the Navy League. “Jack leads by personal example and holds a focused vision for sustaining CACI’s exemplary business achievements through ethical practices.”

Dr. London's industry recognition includes being named CEO of the Year by George Washington University and Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young. Each year since 2002, the HR Leadership Awards of Greater Washington presents its annual Ethics in Business Award for industry leadership in Dr. London's name.

The Navy League’s Nimitz award is named after Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, whose qualities of leadership, statesmanship and dedication, exemplify his commitment to the need for a strong maritime defense supported by American industry.
