AE Industrial Operating Partner Reggie Brothers Appointed to Leonardo DRS Board

Reggie Brothers, operating partner at AE Industrial Partners and a two-time Wash100 Award winner, has been named to the board of directors at Leonardo DRS (Nasdaq: DRS).

He will serve on the board’s audit committee starting Jan. 1 and bring more than three decades of government and industry experience in advanced networking, artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, the Leonardo subsidiary said Friday. 

Before joining private equity firm AEI, Brothers served as CEO of artificial intelligence-powered software developer BigBear.ai (NYSE: BBAI) for two years.

He previously worked as an executive vice president and chief technology officer at Peraton, director of mission applications at BAE Systems and a principal at The Chertoff Group.

Brothers’ government experience includes leadership roles at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and the departments of Defense and Homeland Security. 

His appointment to the Leonardo DRS board comes less than a month after the defense contractor started publicly trading on Nasdaq following the completion of its all-stock merger with Israel-based RADA Electronic Industries.
