We at ExecutiveBiz and the entire Federal IT community were certainly affected by the news last month that CACI International Inc.’s CEO Paul Cofoni underwent coronary bypass surgery after experiencing major chest discomfort. The symptoms were so serious, according to doctors, that if left untreated could have led to a heart attack.

But the good news is that the surgery was successful and Cofoni, 59, is on a road to recovery that should have been back in the throes of work shortly. The initial estimates around the time of the surgery in early June was six weeks, so no doubt Cofoni is chomping at the bit to take the reigns back from acting CEO William Fairl.

During his downtime Cofoni could at least reflect on what had been a successful first year at the helm of CACI, a year he discussed with ExecutiveBiz in detail during an interview earlier this summer. During the Q&A Cofoni confessed to being an avid sports fan of all the local teams, occasionally sneaking out after work to a Nationals game. With his recovery on track it surely won’t be long before he’s making his way over to the ballpark again sooner rather than later.

From the ExecutiveBiz team, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
