Description:
The multimillion dollar fraud scheme involving a major Virginia contractor and New York City’s payroll project will be the topic of the Pamplin College of Business Symposium on Business Ethics on Tuesday, March 19th, at 7 pm at Virginia Tech’s Burruss Auditorium. The talk is free and open to the public, no tickets needed.

In the guest lecture, “SAIC and CityTime,” Pamplin alumnus Douglas M. Wagoner, a senior vice president at Science Applications International Corporation, will discuss the scandal that developed from his company’s contract to build a new timecard system for New York.

SAIC, based in McLean, Va., agreed in March 2012 to pay more than $500 million to settle the case, which the Manhattan U.S. Attorney called “one of the largest and most brazen frauds ever committed against the City of New York.”

Wagoner directs SAIC’s Gemini Program, which will plan and execute all aspects of splitting the company into two publically traded firms. One firm will focus on solutions and products for the national security, health, and engineering markets; the other will focus on enterprise information technology and technical services primarily for the federal marketplace.

Wagoner was previously senior vice president and general manager of SAIC’s homeland and civilian solutions business unit. He began his career at EDS (now HP) after earning an MBA at Virginia Tech in 1990. He received a bachelor’s degree in finance from the College of William and Mary.

At EDS, Wagoner worked in finance and administration and business development, where he focused on Army and defense agency programs.

He left EDS for identification and credential verification services provider ChoicePoint (acquired in 2008 by the parent company of LexisNexis), where he started the public sector business unit. He then served as chief operating officer of DSA, an information technology communications consulting firm to the defense and intelligence agencies.

Wagoner is active in several professional and philanthropic organizations. He founded TechAmerica’s Committee on Intelligence, and was instrumental, through his congressional testimony on security-related matters, in the passage of security clearance reform legislation.

The symposium is sponsored by the Business Leadership Center of the Department of Management and by Pamplin accounting alumni Robert F. Hogan Jr. and Jorge Del Alamo Jr. and his wife Lin.
