Lockheed Martin elevates the human resources lead for one of its business segments to head HR for the entire company.

Lockheed Martin has promoted 32-year company veteran Greg Karol to senior vice president of human resources for the corporation, effective March 2.

Karol will report directly to CEO Marillyn Hewson and oversee all aspects of Lockheed’s global HR strategies, the company said Monday.

That includes functions related to recruiting, development and retention; benefits and compensation, diversity and inclusion; labor relations; workforce development; and training programs.

Most recently, Karol was vice president of human resources at Lockheed’s aeronautics segment. His other human capital leadership roles at Lockheed have included vice president of corporate relations and vice president of HR for the missiles and fire control business.
