Lockheed announces 2 leadership changes

Moves are evidence of Lockheed’s succession and management development programs, says CEO Bob Stevens.

Lockheed Martin Corp.’s board of directors has elected Erich Sanchack to be a corporate officer and vice president of Corporate Internal Audit, replacing Stephanie Hill, who has been appointed president of Information Systems & Global Solutions-Civil. The new positions took effect March 1, according to a company announcement.

Sanchack, a former Marine Corps captain, joined Lockheed Martin in 2004 as a systems engineering manager. Prior to his current position, he held program management positions with the corporation’s Engineering & Technology function and Information Systems & Global Solutions business.

Hill joined Lockheed Martin as a software engineer in 1987 and has held numerous positions of increasing responsibility. Prior to joining the Internal Audit group in 2010, she was vice president and general manager of the Electronic Systems Mission Systems & Sensors in Baltimore, where she was responsible for leading the Integrated Defense Technologies business operations.

“These assignments demonstrate the effectiveness and value of our succession and management development programs, which allow us to quickly adapt to leadership changes and maintain our focus on the needs of our customers,” said Bob Stevens, chairman and CEO, in the announcement.

Lockheed Martin Corp., of Bethesda, Md., ranks No. 1 on Washington Technology’s 2011 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.
