Leidos Names Tiffany Yeager QTC Health CEO

Leidos appointed Tiffany Yeager as CEO of Leidos QTC Health Services, moving her into the permanent post after she led the unit in an acting capacity. Yeager directs strategy and operations for the business, which is based at Leidos headquarters in Reston, Virginia.

Why it matters

The appointment places a leader with prior financial and operations roles in charge of a unit that delivers medical examinations for veterans, military personnel, federal workers and civilians. Leidos QTC cited Yeager's familiarity with its workforce, clinicians and customer base as part of the basis for her selection.

QTC delivers medical examinations annually to over 1.3 million personnel through 2.8 million appointments, backed by more than 24,000 clinicians across 44 countries. The announcement did not disclose changes to these operating figures under Yeager's leadership.

The players

Tiffany Yeager

The details

Yeager served as Leidos QTC chief financial officer from March 2022 to January 2026, then became senior vice president of operations in January 2026 before the permanent CEO appointment. She joined Leidos in 2016 as a financial planning director.

March 2022: Yeager became Leidos QTC chief financial officer.
January 2025: Leidos QTC won a position on a VBA medical disability examinations contract for regions 1 through 4.
January 2026: Yeager became QTC senior vice president of operations.

Market Landscape

Leidos QTC's January 2025 position on the VBA indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for medical disability examinations in regions 1 through 4 anchors the unit's federal health work. Leadership continuity at QTC keeps that federal medical examination business under a manager already embedded in its operations.

For Virginia residents, the change affects the federal contractor ecosystem around Reston, where Leidos headquarters employs staff tied to government health programs. Veterans and federal employees who use QTC medical examinations will continue to see the same service network under new leadership.

The takeaway

Leadership changes at federal health contractors can signal continuity when a manager is promoted from within an operating unit. Readers tracking federal medical services should watch how QTC's strategy evolves under its new CEO.
