For CACI and its clients, the result is enhanced support for critical missions with the expertise of qualified professionals whose skills and insight are honed by dedicated military service.
Mr. Cofoni has made a personal commitment to continuing CACI's steadfast devotion to honesty and ethics in all it does.
