As vice president of operations, Roegge will lead HII Nuclear, which manages and operates facilities of the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security Administration. His responsibilities also include directing complex production and environmental management efforts, and supporting commercial and government nuclear projects.
“Bringing exceptional leaders onto our team is one of the most important investments we can make in our future. Admiral Roegge’s unmatched experience in nuclear operations and national security will enhance the critical services we deliver, expand our capabilities in nuclear management and operations, and position us for continued growth across our portfolio,” said Michael Lempke, president of HII Mission Technologies’ Global Security group.
What Experience Does Roegge Bring to the Role?
Roegge brings more than 30 years of experience in national security, strategic deterrence and nuclear operations to the role. In 1991, he became part of the U.S. Navy as technical assistant of naval reactors. He was executive officer of the USS Key West from 1994 to 1995, and commanding officer of the USS Connecticut from 1998 to 2001. He was also commodore of the Submarine Squadron 22 stationed in La Maddalena, Italy from 2004 to 2005.
Throughout his career, Roegge became assistant deputy director of strategy and policy, and later assistant deputy director of regional operations of the Joint Staff, director of the Navy Personnel Command’s Submarine/Nuclear Power Distribution Division, and deputy commander of the U.S. Strategic Command’s Joint Functional Component Command for Global Strike. He was commander of Submarine Group EIGHT as part of the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa, director of total force manpower and military personnel policy within the Navy Bureau of Personnel, and commander, U.S. Pacific Submarine Force.
After more than three decades of service in the U.S. Navy, he held senior command positions that included president of the National Defense University.
Following his military retirement, Roegge joined Holtec International, where he served as senior vice president, chief strategy officer and president of Holtec Government Services.
