Tony Smeraglinolo brings over 30 years of experience in driving transformation and customer-centric growth strategies within the Government Services industry. Most recently, he served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Engility Corporation (NYSE: EGL), a $2.1 billion leader in training capabilities, specialized technical consulting, program and business support services, engineering and technology lifecycle management, and supply chain and logistics solutions. He served as President and Chief Executive Officer after leading the spin-off of Engility from L-3 in 2012.
Smeraglinolo’s tenure at Engility was defined by shareholder value creation through portfolio diversification with strategic M&A, and growth through relentless focus on customers and solving their most complex problems. Engility initially was a $1.6 billion business with an anticipated $500 million draw-down and an 80% dependence on the Department of Defense. Smeraglinolo led the strategy to diversify the customer portfolio and pivot the company to a higher-end enduring service model. He introduced price-disruptive services, new product lines, and led the acquisitions and integrations of DRC, a $250 million public company with a civilian market concentration, and TASC, a $1.1 billion company with 75% of its business supporting the Intel agencies. Smeraglinolo’s strategic initiatives transformed Engility into a top-five service company that derives more than 50% of its business from Civil and INTEL markets, and drove a 66% growth in revenue and a 300% increase in share price. Engility was ranked 30th in Washington Technology’s Top 100 largest government contractors, and Smeraglinolo received multiple accolades for his contributions, including: Deal Maker of the Year Award from the Association for Corporate Growth (ACG), Inclusion in The Washington 100 by Executive Mosaic, and the GovCon Executive of the Year Award for companies exceeding $300 million in revenue.
Prior to the spin-off, Smeraglinolo served as the Executive Vice President of the $4 billion L-3 Services Group and as Acting President of its Command & Control Systems and Software division. He was instrumental in developing the two-year strategy that culminated in the spin-off of L-3’s six government services business units to form Engility in July 2012.
Smeraglinolo began his career at Harris Corporation where he held roles of increasing responsibility across finance, program management, business development and operations during his 25-year career with the organization. After Harris Corporation, he served as President of the L-3 Services Group’s Intelligence Solutions Division for three years before he was recruited as the President of the Global Stabilization and Development Solutions division for Dyncorp International.
Smeraglinolo holds a Master of Business Administration in Finance from the Florida Institute of Technology and a bachelor’s degree in Business Management with a minor in Accounting from Fairfield University in Connecticut.
