Vincent Stewart, a 38-year U.S. Marine Corps veteran and a four-time Wash100 Award winner, will formally join the board of directors of Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) on Friday.
The retired USMC lieutenant general will serve as an independent director and as part of the board’s classified business and security committee, Lockheed said Tuesday.
Stewart held the chief inclusion and innovation officer role at Ankura for the last seven months and now serves on the consulting firm’s board as a non-executive member.
He also holds board seats at KBR (NYSE: KBR) and the American Public Education.
His military career included assignments as deputy commander of U.S. Cyber Command, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and commander of the Joint Functional Component Command for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.
Jim Taiclet, chairman, president and CEO of Lockheed and a 2022 Wash100 awardee, said Stewart will bring a deep understanding of cyberspace operations to the company and its board will work with him to take joint all-domain technologies to defense customers.
