James L. Cameron has been appointed corporate vice president and president of the technical services sector, and will report directly to Ronald D. Sugar, Northrop Grumman's chairman, chief executive officer and president.
Cameron previously was vice president and general manager of the defensive and navigation systems divisions of the company's electronic systems sector. Before he joined Northrop Grumman in 2003, he held executive positions at ITT Industries Inc., Lockheed Martin Corp., Litton Industries Inc. and the Office of the U.S. Secretary of Defense.
Cameron holds bachelor's and master's degrees in national security administration from the University of Southern California's School of Policy, Planning and Development. He is also an industry graduate of the School of Program Managers at the Defense Systems Management College.
