February 21 2018 - 11:45AM
Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) announced today that
Michael Smith, executive vice president, strategy and development,
is moving to HII’s Technical Solutions division, where he will
serve as president of the SN3 business and report to Michael
Lempke, president of the Nuclear & Environmental group,
effective immediately. The company also announced that Scott
Stabler, executive vice president, internal audit, is moving into a
new role as HII’s executive vice president and chief transformation
officer, reporting to Mike Petters, HII’s president and CEO.
“Mike has excelled in a variety of leadership positions since
joining HII,” Petters said. “I am confident his
experience—including his time leading corporate development of
HII’s nuclear and environmental services before the creation of
Technical Solutions—will build on SN3’s legacy and leverage the
full complement of HII’s expertise for additional nuclear and
environmental work, which we see as our largest growth
opportunity.”
Smith joined HII in 2014 as corporate vice president, business
growth. In January 2015, he was named vice president, corporate
development, nuclear and environmental services, where he was
responsible for executing the growth strategy in commercial and
government nuclear markets. In 2016, he became HII’s executive vice
president, strategy and development. Before joining HII, Smith
worked for BAE Systems, where he served as sector vice president,
business development, strategy and planning, for the Support
Solutions sector. He is a graduate of Stanford University, where he
earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering and a master’s
in engineering management.
With this management change, HII’s strategy and development team
will move back to business management, reporting to Chris Kastner,
executive vice president, business management, and chief financial
officer.
In his new role, Stabler will work directly with HII’s divisions
to assess and facilitate implementation of the transformative
business model and process changes necessary to meet rapidly
evolving customer demands. The scope is open-ended but will
initially focus on HII’s digital, technological and supply chain
strategies.
“Scott has been an integral part of HII’s success since we
formed in 2011 and of Newport News Shipbuilding for more than 25
years,” Petters said. “The breadth and depth of his experience in
engineering, program management, supply chain management and
business development—as well as his perspective from leading
corporate’s operations—make him the ideal candidate to lead the
transformation effort.”
Stabler joined Newport News Shipbuilding in 1984 and has held
progressively responsible positions in engineering, purchasing,
business development and program management. He was appointed vice
president of assembly in 1999 and vice president of aircraft
carrier construction in 2000. He was directly responsible for
program management and construction of the last Nimitz-class
aircraft carrier, USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77), from the contract
award in 2001 until successful builder’s sea trials in 2009. He
went on to serve as vice president of supply chain management and
was vice president of corporate operations during HII’s stand-up as
an independent business in 2011. He was named HII’s chief audit
executive in 2013. He earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical
engineering from North Carolina State University and a master’s
degree in business administration from the College of William and
Mary.
Stabler will continue to lead Internal Audit until a replacement
can be identified.
