BETHESDA, Md., July 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed
Martin's board of directors approved the appointments of new
leaders for two of the corporation's business areas. Frank St. John will move to executive vice
president of Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) and Scott Greene will become executive vice
president of Missiles and Fire Control (MFC). St. John succeeds
Dale Bennett, who intends to retire
but will serve as strategic advisor on the executive leadership
team through the end of the year. Both Greene and St. John will
serve as corporate officers. Their appointments will be effective
Aug. 26.
St. John, 52, joined Lockheed Martin as an intern more than 30
years ago, and took on roles of increasing responsibility in
engineering and program management before joining the corporation's
executive leadership team. For the past year and a half, he has
served as executive vice president of MFC. Under his leadership,
MFC secured significant long-term strategic contract wins and grew
international sales significantly.
Greene, 61, has served as vice president of Tactical and Strike
Missiles in the MFC business segment since August 2017, where he had total business,
operational and financial responsibility for that line of business.
With more than 38 years of experience, Greene has held positions of
increasing responsibility throughout the corporation.
"Frank and Scott are proven leaders who have built impressive
records at Lockheed Martin. They bring a commitment to excellence
and strong customer focus to their respective business areas," said
Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Marillyn Hewson. "These appointments reflect
Lockheed Martin's commitment to succession planning and strong
governance. We have deep talent and expertise in our executive
leadership team, and I am confident Frank and Scott will continue
to deliver strong performance in their new roles."
Bennett began his career in the U.S. Air Force and joined
Lockheed Martin in 1981. In his most recent role as the leader of
RMS, Dale led a team of more than 35,000 people across the globe
working on a diverse product portfolio of over 1,000 programs
ranging from helicopters to naval platforms. He has been a champion
for the corporation's military veteran workforce and an advocate
for STEM education initiatives.
"We appreciate Dale's leadership and service over his remarkable
40-year career in the military and in industry," Hewson said. "His
broad experience across engineering, business development and
strategy made him a uniquely valuable part of our leadership team.
We wish him well in his retirement."
