Charles Fielden, a nearly two-decade Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) veteran, has joined QinetiQ Group‘s U.S. subsidiary as executive vice president and general manager of the intelligence, cyber and information advantage business unit.

The former U.S. Army sergeant will oversee operational testing, functional evaluation and capability assessments of cyber tools for defense and intelligence customers, QinetiQ U.S. said Monday.

“His impeccable track record supporting intelligence community, commercial industry and U.S. Military partners will be an invaluable asset to our customers,” commented Shawn Purvis, CEO of QinetiQ U.S. and a 2024 Wash100 awardee.

Fielden most recently served as CEO of a proprietary company headquartered in Northern Virginia where he oversaw workforce transformation.

Before that, he was executive vice president of Coverent, a research, analytics and consulting firm supporting government and commercial clients.
