Walsh joins the company with more than two decades of deep expertise in aerospace and defense services and a proven track record of exceptional leadership and performance, says a DynCorp news release.

“Gordon will build on DI’s strong industry position while continuing our legacy of operational excellence,” said Chan Galbato, lead director of Delta Tucker Holdings, Inc. “His experience in logistics solutions, new business development and strategic realignment will enhance DI’s domestic competitiveness while supporting aggressive entry into new markets.”
