John Allen, co-chief executive officer of Windsor Group LLC, a Reston, Va., investment banking firm, said Dahlberg is a good choice.
“He has a very strong operational background, has been involved in some major acquisitions and helped accelerate the growth of General Dynamics’ IT business, particularly in the intelligence community. He’s a strong leader for SAIC,” Allen said.
Dahlberg has held leadership positions in public companies and in a private company. That experience will be an asset at SAIC, Allen said.
“As a private, employee-owned company, SAIC operates somewhat differently than its public peers. I think he has the perspective of what it takes to lead a multibillion-dollar private company,” Allen said. “He’s going to a company that has outstanding balance sheet and a great portfolio of businesses. He’s got a great opportunity in front of him.”
Prior to joining General Dynamics, Dahlberg served as executive vice president for business development at Raytheon Co. of Lexington, Mass., and as president of its Raytheon International Inc. subsidiary. Dahlberg was responsible for international and domestic business development and government relations. Previously, he was president and chief operating officer of Raytheon Systems Co., where he had operations oversight for all of Raytheon's defense business units.
Dahlberg served as a corporate vice president of Hughes Electronics Corp. and as a senior vice president of Hughes Aircraft Company prior to the 1997 merger of Raytheon and Hughes Aircraft Co. Dahlberg joined Hughes in 1967 and held various engineering, program management and leadership positions.
Dahlberg earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from Drexel University and a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California. He also attended the University of California, Los Angeles, business school for advanced education for executives. He is a member of the National Defense Industrial Association Board of Directors, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, American Society of Naval Engineers, Surface Navy Association, and the Navy League.

Caught red-handed carrying wiretapping and photo equipment, it soon transpired that the burglars were linked in some way to Nixon, who denied any knowledge of the misdemeanour. One of the five, James McCord, worked for the Nixon campaign as 'security' officer for the Committee to Re-elect the President (CREEP), and had worked for John Mitchell, chief of CREEP and the then Attorney General. Two had worked for the CIA and three were veterans of the 1961 invasion of Cuba.
$114,000 was found in the possession of Bernard Barker, one of the burglars. The White House attempted to use the CIA to block the FBI's investigation of the origins of this money. It was the media's dogged determination to reveal the source of the Baker money that contributed to unravelling the cover-up. $89,000 had been channelled through Mexico to disguise its origins and $25,000 came from Nixon fund-raiser Kenneth Dahlberg.
These revelations set in motion the official investigations that finally ensnared Nixon. But it would take the creeping revelations of two years, the skilled investigatative journalism of Washington Post reporters Robert Woodward and Carl Bernstein, and the 'smoking gun' tapes to finally nail Nixon. Five days after the burglary, Nixon claimed "the White House has had no involvement whatever in this particular incident."
