HII Announces Vice President of Trades at Newport News Shipbuilding
October 09 2023 - 2:30PM
HII (NYSE: HII) announced today that David Horne has been promoted
to vice president of trades at its Newport News Shipbuilding
division.
Horne’s promotion comes following the restructuring of trades
and human resources and administration from one large organization
into two standalone organizations. Xavier Beale will continue as
vice president of human resources and administration. Both Horne
and Beale will report directly to NNS President Jennifer
Boykin.
“Each part of this organization is critical to our success,”
Boykin said. “Our human resources and administration team must
focus on hiring, retention and development of employees, while the
trades team must focus on safely and efficiently executing our work
volume. Based on these changing dynamics, I am restructuring these
teams back into standalone organizations to reflect the scope of
responsibility and leadership bandwidth required for each.”
Since 2022, Horne has served as senior director of trades. He is
a third-generation shipbuilder and began his shipbuilding career in
1983 as a welder prior to entering NNS’ Apprentice School as a
pipefitter.
He has held numerous positions of increasing responsibility,
including production department refueling manager, refueling trade
superintendent, trade director and program trade director.

“Dave’s promotion reflects his exceptional leadership,
experience and dedication, as well as his extensive knowledge of
the standards and principles that we are working to strengthen
across the entire organization,” Boykin shared.
A 1989 honors graduate of the NNS’ Apprentice School, Horne
holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Christopher
Newport University and a master’s degree in engineering management
from Florida Institute of Technology.
