Beverly J. Seay is a Senior Vice President with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). SAIC is a FORTUNE 500® scientific, engineering and technology applications company that uses its deep domain knowledge to solve problems of vital importance to the Nation and the world, in national security, energy and the environment, critical infrastructure, and health. With over 30 years of experience in the research, development, and management of large-scale Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial systems, Ms. Seay manages the Analysis, Simulation, Systems, Engineering & Training (ASSET) Business Unit (BU). The ASSET BU comprises a workforce of 2500 people, generates annual revenue near $600 million with major locations in McLean, Va., Orlando, Fl., Suffolk, Va. and Omaha Ne. as well as Boston, Ma. and Brussels, Belgium.

Major clients of Ms. Seay’s organization include: DoD, the military services, many other departments and agencies of the U.S. Government and several foreign governments. Her SAIC team holds a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®) Level 5 rating in systems engineering and in developing software for composable systems that create common product line architectures (PLA) for virtual and constructive simulations.

Ms. Seay’s comprehensive view of business and customer relationships are manifested in her development of the Customer Lifecycle Architecture (CLCA). This patent-pending business method provides linkages between different business phases, models and customers, providing insights into areas for investment and discovery, and has opened up new business domains for SAIC.

As a leader in modeling and simulation (M&S), Ms. Seay has produced pioneering work in M&S. Recently, Frost & Sullivan reported, Ms. Seay’s engineering team have established SAIC as one of the top three companies in Constructive Simulation. She led SAIC’s development of two 85,000-squarefoot facilities in Orlando that included the Integrated Simulation Center. This simulation center showcases SAIC’s product line of virtual training simulators and rapid simulator prototyping capability. The successful expansion of the SAIC Orlando business emanates from Ms. Seay’s vision of applying software technology to the constructive training domain.

Within the national security policy and the operational C2 arenas Ms. Seay’s business unit holds a dominant position. While maintaining a constant focus on support for the Warfighter, Ms Seay’s team of national security issue thought-leaders frequently provide support and necessary expertise to senior-level Government officials. Her work in C2 and Cyber has been ground-breaking and has assisted the defense sector in creating its initial concepts and appropriately structuring new organizations to deal with a fast changing security and threat environment.

The ASSET BU has received numerous honors, such as being selected by a panel of industry experts as one of the U.S. Government’s Top-5 Software Projects under Army’s OneSAF Objective System Program. Additionally, Warfighter Simulation (WARSIM), for whic the ASSET BU is a key software contractor, was selected by the National Defense Industrial Association as one of the Top-5 DoD Software Development Programs. Ms. Seay and her staff have been presented 13 SAIC Achievement Awards for excellence in categories ranging from Excellence in Public Service to Excellence in Science in Technology, to Excellence in Program Performance.

Recently, Ms. Seay led the acquisition of Icon Systems, specialists in live training systems, completing the integration of SAIC’s offerings across the three training simulation domains and assisting the ASSET BU in carrying out its expansion of M&S and systems technology beyond training into national security and policy, and operational command and control, including applications in the cyber domain.

Ms. Seay holds positions on a number of select boards to include the U.S. Strategic Command’s Strategic Advisory Group (SAG). Additionally, she serves on the Georgia Tech President’s Advisary Baord as well as their College of Computing Diversity Advisory Board; University of Central Florida’s College of Engineering & Computer Science Dean’s Advisory Board; the Board of Directors for the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition; the Peter Kiewit Institute Advisory Board at University of Nebraska and the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Board of Governors Sunshine Chapter. She is also a board member emeritus for Kids House of Seminole, helped co-found the more than 2,000-member SAIC Women’s Network and was the creator of SAIC’s Mentoring Connection. Ms. Seay is recognized as a champion of computing and engineering education for minority and diversity candidates.

Ms. Seay holds a BS Degree in Mathematics and an MS in Information and Control Engineering from the University of Michigan. She is married to Stephen Seay and has two daughters: Michelle, a computer science graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology and Tiffany, a computer science graduate of the University of Central Florida.
