(Clay) Jones, 63, who continues as chairman and chief executive officer, in the newly formed Office of the Chief Executive. The appointment is effective immediately. “This move will bring even greater focus to serving our stakeholders and help us better prepare for the future of this highly integrated company,” stated Jones. “We have always valued operational excellence, and I expect this new organizational structure to enable us to achieve even higher levels of performance, further enhancing our reputation in this area.”
As president, Ortberg (pictured) is primarily responsible for the operational management of the company, including oversight of its commercial and government businesses and supporting functions.
