Joel Abrahams, former executive director at Axient, was promoted to the role of vice president of the Air Force business unit in the defense systems segment at the defense and civilian mission support company.
Axient said Wednesday Abrahams will be responsible for managing contracts across the company’s Air Force portfolio and overseeing a team of engineers and scientists focused on air and missile defense, test and evaluation, hypersonics and digital engineering work.
Abrahams has almost two decades of industry experience. At Axient, the new VP served on increasingly progressive roles such as program manager and executive director. His career also includes time with Jacobs (NYSE: J) and Aerospace Testing Alliance.
In his new role, he will support Axient’s Air Force Lifecycle Management Center, AF Test Center, AF Research Laboratory and AF Special Operations Command customers.
