She succeeds former Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff, whose term as chair of the BAE Systems, Inc. board concludes this month. Chertoff has served as Chair since April 2012 and as a member of the board since May 2010.
Charles Woodburn, group chief executive of BAE Systems plc, said, “We are deeply grateful for Secretary Chertoff’s contributions to BAE Systems. His distinguished leadership as Chair has helped our Company, our customers, and our allies navigate through a time of increasingly complex global security challenges.”
