SM&A's Myers Gets Bigger Team

SM&A (WINS) named Cathy McCarthy operating chief and Steve Handy finance chief.

The Newport Beach, Calif., provider of competition management services said Handy, 37, will succeed McCarthy, 57, as finance chief. Daniel Hart, 32, will succeed Handy as corporate controller.

"Our expanding customer base, as well as markets served and services offered, has resulted in an increasingly complex business and created the need to broaden our leadership team in order to successfully execute our near and long-term strategies," said CEO Steven Myers. "I am extremely delighted that the Board of Directors agreed with me that the skills needed to meet our leadership needs were already right here at SM&A. Cathy has been my partner in restructuring and building the business during the past five years. As we approach the $80 million annualized revenue level, it is time to recognize her accomplishments and role in our growth as well as increase her responsibilities for our future success. In her new role as President and COO, Cathy will focus on the day-to-day operations of SM&A while I will focus on creating and building our brand within current and new markets."

"I'm very honored by the Board's confidence in the senior leadership team, which includes Tim Bauman and now, Steve Handy," said McCarthy.

On Monday, SM&A rose a dime to $8.25.
