Michael Knowles Promoted to Lead Cubic’s Defense Segment, Dave Buss Named Senior Adviser

Michael Knowles, former vice president and general manager of the air ranges business unit within Cubic™s (NYSE: CUB) global defense segment, has been named corporate senior VP and president of the segment in a move that will take effect Oct. 1.

Knowles will succeed Dave Buss, a corporate SVP who will assume the role of senior adviser to oversee corporate strategy and growth efforts of the San Diego-based contractor™s defense business, Cubic said Tuesday.

Buss, a 36-year U.S. Navy veteran and retired vice admiral, has been leading Cubic™s global defense segment since May 2016.

Knowles is a retired Navy commander who held management and executive positions at Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), Rockwell Collins (NYSE: COL), Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) and Photon Research Associates.

Jonas Furukrona, former director of Cubic™s air ranges business in Europe, Canada and Australia, will directly report to Knowles starting next month as VP and GM of the same unit.
