SAIC has appointed Erich Wiemann as vice president of capture for its Air Force, Space and Intelligence, or AFSI, Business Group. The appointment was announced by Wiemann on LinkedIn, where he expressed gratitude for being able to join an organization whose goal is to ensure that “our Air Force, Space, and [intelligence community] customers have what they need to execute their missions, on their timelines, against real threats.”
Who Is Erich Wiemann?
Wiemann is an industry leader with nearly two decades of experience in business development, capture management, and strategic leadership across defense and intelligence.
Before joining SAIC, Wiemann served as senior director and capture lead for the citizen services and public services sector at Peraton, a role he assumed in October 2025. In this capacity, he oversaw a portfolio of high-priority opportunities ranging from $50 million to over $1 billion, leading a team of capture managers responsible for identifying and winning new federal business.
Prior to joining Peraton, he spent a year as chief operating officer at Paratus Solutions, a Virginia-based consultancy, where he advised clients on business development and capture, strategy, business process improvement and organizational effectiveness.
Wiemann had also spent 11 years at CACI International, holding progressively senior roles including director of strategic capture and executive director of operations and strategy. In the former role, he focused on complex pursuits across command and control, communications, surveillance and reconnaissance, and counter-improvised threat markets. He oversaw more than $4 billion in business wins and contributed to double-digit organic growth within his sector.
