Computer Sciences Corp., the fifth-largest U.S. provider of computer services, named Michael W. Laphen, 56, as chief executive.
Laphen, who was chief operating officer, replaces Van B. Honeycutt, 62, who will remain chairman until his term expires July 30, El Segundo-based Computer Sciences said.
Honeycutt had been CEO since 1995 and had worked to expand the company’s clients beyond the U.S. government. The leadership change is part of a strategic plan that Laphen helped craft, a spokesman said.
