The CSS Board of Directors is pleased to announce that Joseph W. Craver III is CSS’ new Chief Executive Officer. “Selecting the right CEO has been one of the most important decisions we have had to make. Joe is the perfect choice and will be only the second CEO in our 30‐year history,” said Jolanda Janczewski, Ph.D., Chairman of the Board. She continued, “Joe brings a tremendous amount of experience in both federal services and commercial markets.”

“What sets Joe apart is his passion and understanding of the power of employee‐ownership. Employee‐ownership is still new to CSS and we want to unlock its potential for both our employee‐owners and our clients,” said Dennis Lauchner, Vice Chairman of the Board and former CSS CEO.

In the relatively short period of time since Joe’s addition to CSS two years ago, the Company has won more than $130 million of contracts, implemented a new compensation system for its employee‐owners, implemented an assortment of employee benefits, and significantly reduced CSS’ healthcare costs. 

Joe graduated from the Naval Academy in 1981 after which he served on nuclear submarines and submersibles. He then worked for SAIC for 24 years, leading various organizations in the Environment, Energy, Health, Space, Homeland Security, and IT industries; ranging from 300 to more than 8,000 staff. 

Joe stated, “I am excited about the new role and the opportunity, but what I am most excited about are the employee‐owners of CSS. They are our future and the long‐term leadership of our company. Together, I hope to build on our recent successes and position CSS for a long‐term sustainable future with customer service and employee‐ownership as our driving force. ”
