L3Harris Technologies of Melbourne FL announced on July 1 that it has named Jesus “Jay” Malave, Jr. Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, reporting to L3Harris Chairman and Chief Executive Officer William Brown, effective June 29, 2019. Malave was elected CFO of the new L3Harris following the close of the merger between L3 and Harris, and succeeds former L3 and Harris CFOs, Ralph D’Ambrosio and Rahul Ghai, who have decided for personal reasons to pursue new opportunities. Both D’Ambrosio and Ghai will actively support a transition period.
Malave is a seasoned CFO with an extensive background in financial
planning and analysis, corporate finance, post-merger integration and investor
relations, and has a deep knowledge of the aerospace and defense industry. He
joins L3Harris from United Technologies Corporation, where he spent more than
20 years in roles of increasing responsibility, including VP & CFO of the
$15 billion UTC Aerospace Systems business; VP, Financial Planning &
Treasury at Hamilton Sundstrand, with responsibility for planning the
integration of Goodrich Corporation; four years as VP, Investor Relations; and
most recently as VP & CFO of the $19 billion Carrier business segment.
“I am delighted to welcome Jay to L3Harris, and am confident that his
broad financial expertise, post-merger integration experience, industry
knowledge and passion for talent development will serve us well as we build the
new L3Harris,” said Brown. “I would also like to thank Rahul and Ralph for
their many contributions, including establishing the foundation of L3Harris,
and I wish them well in their next endeavors. We’re excited to hit the ground
running on day one and with Jay at the finance helm, I am confident we are well
positioned to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
“I am honored to join the L3Harris team at this exciting time and
look forward to building on the significant progress that has already been made
and contributing to the integration,” said Malave. “I believe L3Harris has
a talented management team and am thrilled to have the opportunity to leverage
my background and skills to help the company continue to deliver strong results
for all of our stakeholders.”
As CFO, Malave will oversee L3Harris’ accounting, financial planning & analysis (FP&A), investor relations, internal audit, tax and treasury functions.
