On December 30, CACI International Inc announced that Adm. Michael Gilday, U.S. Navy (Ret.), and David Keffer have been appointed to its board of directors, effective Jan. 1, 2026. Each will serve as an independent director on CACI’s board, both joining following the death of Michael Daniels in July 2025, and the resignation of William Jews, effective Dec. 31, 2025.
“We are pleased to welcome Mike and Dave to our board,” said CACI Board Chair Lisa Disbrow. “Their extensive leadership experience and defense sector knowledge will strengthen CACI’s continued ability to drive shareholder value while delivering solutions to the nation’s most complex challenges. Admiral Gilday brings more than three decades of experience as a U.S. Navy surface warfare officer with significant knowledge in unmanned surface vehicles, and Dave is an impressive financial leader with a cross-functional background and experience in senior executive roles. These latest additions to the board ensure that CACI remains vigilant in our resolve to address new and emerging national security threats.”
Disbrow continued, “We sincerely thank Bill Jews for his dedication over nearly 13 years. As chair of CACI’s audit committee, he brought strong leadership, high ethics, and superb judgment. His leadership has made a lasting difference. We wish him continued success in his future endeavors.”
Gilday, who most recently retired as the 32nd Chief of Naval Operations, brings a distinguished career in the Navy, including leadership roles on the Joint Staff, at NATO, and at U.S. Cyber Command. He is the recipient of the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal (four awards), Legion of Merit (three awards), Bronze Star, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Combat “V,” and the Combat Action Ribbon. He holds master’s degrees from the Harvard Kennedy School and the National War College.
Keffer joins CACI’s board after retiring in 2024 from his most recent position as corporate vice president and chief financial officer for Northrop Grumman.
