Sam Mehta and Heidi Wood’s Expanded Leadership Roles
L3Harris also announced a couple of changes in leadership roles. Mehta, president of communication systems, will now concurrently lead the company’s strategic collaboration agreements. In his expanded role, Mehta will cultivate and utilize strategic partnerships with industry partners to deploy advanced capabilities to the United States and allied nations.
Wood, who oversees LHX NeXt– the company’s transformation initiative, has been elevated and will now report directly to L3Harris Chair and CEO Chris Kubasik.
“Ken and Sam are highly respected leaders, both with an established track record of success. Under Heidi’s leadership, LHX NeXt will continue to focus on cost savings and expand to enterprise transformation,” said Kubasik, a three-time Wash100 Award winner. “I’m confident these changes position the company for continued success.”
