Whitney, Bradley & Brown hires former Engility executive Richard Harkey as chief financial officer.

Whitney, Bradley & Brown said Tuesday it has hired almost two-decade market veteran and former Engility Corp. executive Richard Harkey as senior vice president and chief financial officer.

His appointment comes nearly two months after WBB was acquired by private equity firm H.I.G. Capital, the same investment group that purchased fellow Reston-based government IT contractor NCI Inc. in August for $283 million.

Harkey more recently was vice president, chief accounting officer and corporate controller at Engility. Before Engility, he held management roles at Sotera Defense Solutions and PwC.
