The company's current CFO is moving over to a new role focused on corporate strategy.
BigBear.ai has hired a new chief financial officer and shifted the executive currently in that role to a new role with both appointments taking effect June 13.
On that date, former Amazon executive Julie Peffer will become chief financial officer and Josh Kinley will move over to chief corporate development officer.
Peffer and Kinley will both report to CEO Reggie Brothers, the company said Thursday.
Kinley had been BigBear’s CFO since its December 2020 launch and through the company’s public listing in late 2021. He was a co-founder of PCI and served as CFO through the merger into NuWave Solutions that created BigBear.
Prior to joining BigBear, Peffer was CFO for healthcare data company MedeAnalytics since January 2021 and before that was vice president of finance at Amazon Web Services.
At AWS, she was responsible for building and leading financial operations to support all customer-facing teams.
Peffer’s career prior to AWS includes other financial leadership roles at Flowserve, Raytheon, ITT, Textron and Texas Instruments.
