Robbins-Gioia Appoints Jim Leto Chief Executive Officer
December 4, 2002, Alexandria, Virginia—Robbins-Gioia Inc., the leading
provider of project management consulting services, today announces the
appointment of Jim Leto as Chief Executive Officer. A results-oriented leader,
Leto brings an impeccable track record to the top post at Robbins-Gioia,
consistently managing organizations for accelerated growth and profitability.
Following 22 years of service, John Gioia, founder of Robbins-Gioia, will remain
involved, continuing to serve as Chairman of the Board. Avon James, who has
served as president for three years, will continue to lead in this capacity.
"Robbins-Gioia is clearly the industry-leading program management consulting
organization," states Jim Leto, chief executive officer, Robbins-Gioia. "The
opportunity for growth presented by an increasing focus on disciplined
management practices is enormous. As an innovator and leader, John Gioia has
built a first-class organization. I look forward to working with our employees
to meet and exceed public- and private-sector customer expectations."
Jim Leto was chosen for formerly serving as Chairman and CEO of PRC, a $900
million science and technology firm. During his tenure, PRC achieved annual
operating income growth of 40 percent. Additionally, Leto served in a series of
increasingly responsible positions at AT&T over the course of 23 years.
These roles included serving as vice president and general manager of a newly
formed, $60 million Federal division of AT&T. Leto planned and implemented
a strategy to become the pre-eminent systems integrator in the Federal market.
Within three years, the organization won and managed the three largest systems
integration contracts in government procurement history, and achieved sales
growth from $60 to $500 million.
Leto's experience includes first-hand knowledge of the intricacies of large
scale, complex program management. When the Justice Department mandated the
break up of the Bell System, Leto led the team that architected and
successfully implemented the plan to define the steps, applications, and
hardware systems required to disaggregate more than 100 data centers, 22
discrete billing systems, 205 million bill records, and 79 payroll systems for
one million AT&T employees.
"Robbins-Gioia has achieved a great deal over the past 22 years," states John
Gioia. "Our sustained growth is built upon the ingenuity and talent of our
teams. As an organization, we have created and advanced the program management
industry. Today, both private and public sector organizations are clearly
focused on the requirement for comprehensive disciplined management. James Leto
is the perfect candidate to lead the company. His experience and integrity will
prove invaluable in accelerating Robbins-Gioia's growth and corporate
development."
