Leidos Names Finance Veteran to Lead QTC
Federal health-services contractors and subcontract partners should expect a finance-trained CEO steering QTC's examination contracts.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in People
Leidos has named Tiffany Yeager chief executive of Leidos QTC Health Services, making permanent her acting leadership of the unit. QTC, based at Leidos headquarters in Reston, Virginia, handles medical examinations for veterans, military personnel, federal workers and civilians.
Why it matters
The appointment places a finance-trained executive in charge of a federal health-services business that depends on government contracting and workforce management. Leidos cited Yeager's familiarity with QTC's workforce, clinicians and customer base as part of the basis for the choice.
Leidos QTC serves over 1.3 million personnel annually through 2.8 million appointments, supported by more than 24,000 clinicians across 44 countries. The unit completed 1 million VA exams in 2024, a volume that anchors its federal contract exposure.
The players
Leidos
A Reston, Virginia-based government technology and services company whose business spans defense, federal civilian and health contracting.
Leidos QTC Health Services
Leidos's health services unit that performs medical examinations for veterans, military personnel and federal workers under government contracts.
Tiffany Yeager
A Leidos executive who rose from financial planning director in 2016 to QTC chief executive, with prior program experience at Lockheed Martin.
The details
QTC performs medical examinations and related services that federal agencies and the military purchase on a recurring basis, so its leadership shapes how that volume is staffed, scheduled and delivered. Yeager previously served as QTC chief financial officer from March 2022 to January 2026 and then as senior vice president of operations, so the permanent appointment consolidates financial and operational oversight in one executive. Her earlier roles at Lockheed Martin and her 2016 entry into Leidos as a financial planning director round out a track record built on finance and program management.
Timeline
March 2022: Yeager became QTC chief financial officer.
January 2025: QTC won a position on an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for VBA medical disability examinations in regions 1 through 4.
January 2026: Yeager became QTC senior vice president of operations.
November 5, 2026: Leidos announced Yeager's appointment as QTC chief executive.
Market Landscape
QTC's position on the January 2025 VBA medical disability examination contract ties its growth to federal veterans-benefits spending. The unit's focus on federal health contracting places it within a government-services segment where contract awards drive revenue.
Operators in federal health and government services should watch how QTC's new leadership handles its VBA and military examination contracts, since those awards set near-term revenue. Businesses that subcontract to or compete with QTC may see shifts in pricing and staffing as the new CEO sets priorities.
The takeaway
Federal health-services vendors should track how QTC's permanent leadership handles contract delivery through fiscal 2027. Watching the company's contract awards and staffing announcements gives a clear read on whether its operating approach shifts.
