The Big Book ON THE MOVE


On the move


People taking on new leadership roles throughout Virginia


Tom Afferton, president of cyber mission, Peraton Inc., Herndon John Coleman, president of global defense and security, Peraton Inc., Herndon Roger Mason, president of space and intelligence, Peraton Inc., Herndon Tarik Reyes, president of civil and health, Peraton Inc., Herndon


National security contractor Peraton has made massive moves lately, purchasing Perspecta Inc. for $7.1 billion and Northrop Grumman Corp.’s federal IT and mission support services business for $3.4 billion, all in cash. A subsidiary of private equity firm Veritas Capital, Peraton in February divided the company into four sectors — led by Afferton, Coleman, Mason and Reyes. Reyes and Afferton both come from Northrop Grumman, while Mason and Coleman were promoted from within Peraton.


Dr. Danny Avula, state vaccine coordinator, Virginia Department of Health, Richmond


Named the state’s COVID-19 vaccination coordinator in January, Avula is a familiar face in the Richmond area, where he also serves as director of the Rich-


mond and Henrico County health departments. A VCU School of Medicine graduate, he is trained as a pediatric hospitalist and advises medical students at VCU. He’s also comfortable explaining complex concepts, which makes him a natural behind the microphone at coronavirus news briefings.


Devaki Baker, CEO of VeriToll LLC, Ashburn


Baker, who hails from Mexico and founded technology consulting firm Team Verso, is the new head of tolling-as-a-ser- vice company VeriToll as of June


2020. Baker’s company developed a similar product and worked with toll road operator Transurban, experience she brings to her new role. With Baker’s hire, the California-based company moved its headquarters to Northern Virginia.


62 | MARCH 2021


Robert M. Blue, president and CEO, Dominion Energy Inc., Richmond Diane Leopold, chief operating officer, Dominion Energy Inc., Richmond Edward H. Baine, president, Dominion Energy Virginia, Richmond


In October 2020, Dominion under- took a leadership shuffle that saw the Fortune 500 utility’s longtime chairman, president and CEO Thomas F. Farrell II, become execu- tive chair. Blue, Leopold and Baine are all familiar names at Dominion and throughout the state, even if they’re in new positions. Baine and Leopold both joined the company in 1995, and Blue, who served as a counselor and director of policy for Gov. Mark Warner, started in 2005. With Dominion’s strong focus on wind and renewable energy, the trio is going to be busy in coming years.


Corrie Bobe, director, Danville Office of Economic Development, Danville


In July 2020, Danville native Bobe was picked to lead the city’s economic development office after serving as its interim leader since January 2020. With one of the


state’s first casinos headed to the city, there is a lot of development in the cards for Danville. An updated master plan incorporating the Caesars Virginia casino is in the works, and the city’s Industrial Development Authority allocated funding in January for the continuation of an environmental study of the casino’s Schoolfield site, as well as the White Mill and Long Mill properties — all in preparation for future devel- opment, Bobe says.


Sylvia Bugg, chief programming executive and general manager of general audience programming, PBS, Arlington


Last fall, Bugg was tapped to over- see all non-children’s content and to lead PBS’ programming strategy for broadcast and digital platforms, a promotion from her former


position as vice president of general audience programming. An Old Dominion University alum, Bugg previously worked with the Corpo- ration for Public Broadcasting and Discovery Communications networks. This year, she has the added challenge of delayed productions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although she said in November 2020 that news-focused shows such as “Frontline” and “PBS NewsHour” remain a key focus during the public health crisis.


Jared Chalk, executive director, Norfolk Economic Development Authority, Norfolk


Chalk was named the head of Norfolk’s economic development office in spring 2020, after working for the city since 2005. All systems are go in Norfolk for the Pamunkey


Indian Tribe’s casino and the redevelopment of Military Circle Mall, which was sold to the city for $11 million in May 2020. There’s plenty of developer interest in the mixed-use mall project, including a bid from a team including music superstar Pharrell Williams. A decision is expected this summer, Chalk says.


John Collins, chief financial officer, Navy Federal Credit Union, Vienna


In August, Collins arrived at the world’s largest credit union, with total assets of $135.7 billion, after 20 years at Capital One Financial Corp. A University of Richmond


alum, he served in executive roles in the capital markets and risk analysis departments at the credit card giant, as well as overseeing two of Capital One’s bank acquisitions and integrations. Collins’ new job now focuses on managing the finances of a credit union with 9 million mem- bers worldwide.


Lance R. Collins, vice president and executive director, Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, Alexandria


Collins, who joined Virginia Tech in August 2020 after serving as engineering dean at Cornell University, is the university’s man in the North — Northern Virginia,


that is, where early construction work on the $1 billion Innovation Campus started in 2021. He has an impressive fundraising background, a useful skill set for Collins’ new job. In January, alumni Mehul and Hema Sanghani donated $10 million to expand and move Tech’s Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics to the new campus in Alexandria’s Potomac Yard.


Matthew Fine, president, The Runnymede Corp., Virginia Beach


Continuing his family’s tradition, Fine was named president of the 63-year-old commercial real estate development company last April after 30 years on Runny-


mede’s board of directors. Outside of the family business, the University of Richmond alum is a founding director of Suffolk-based TowneBank. He’s a glass and granite sculptor as well as a screenwriter and director of independent films along with his brother, Jeffrey.
