Experienced executive leader Brad Feldmann and financial management expert John Kavanaugh have been appointed to the QinetiQ SSA board of directors, QinetiQ announced November 19.
The QinetiQ SSA board was established in July 2020 after an agreement was reached with the US Defense Counterintelligence & Security Agency, to operate all of QinetiQ US’s defense and security operations under a new Special Security Agreement (SSA).
John Hillen, chair of the QinetiQ SSA board, said, “The strategic insight and business acumen that Brad and John bring to the SSA board will strengthen its governance, oversight and guidance in a complex regulatory and security environment.”
Steve Wadey, group CEO, QinetiQ, said, “I am pleased we have secured Brad and John’s complementary experience in growing and leading organizations relevant to the defense and security sector. Their expertise will be highly valuable to the board as we continue to support our US customers’ national security and defense priorities and drive stable and long-term strategic growth in the US.”
With more than thirty years’ experience as an executive leader at organizations including technology company Neology, defense and transportation company Cubic Corporation, airborne intelligence solutions provider, AEVEX, and the National Defense Industrial Association, Feldmann has extensive experience in building and scaling businesses through organic growth and acquisitions. In 2020, he was named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the world’s most influential business leaders.
Kavanaugh served as chief financial officer at Perspecta Inc., which he launched as a publicly traded company in June 2018 before it was acquired in 2021 by Peraton, a leading provider of government services IT solutions, where he retained his senior leadership position. He has held executive roles at IT services and consulting company DXC Corporation, was president of Xerox Federal Solutions Group and vice president at Northrop Grumman.
