Global all-domain defense provider HII (NYSE: HII) announced today

Defense and deputy assistant secretary for industrial policy, is
joining HII as executive vice president, Strategy &
Development, reporting directly to HII President and CEO Chris

Chewning joins HII as it grows its customer set across the armed

of aircraft carriers and its largest military shipbuilder; among
defense technology distinctions it is the world’s largest producer
of unmanned underwater vehicles, the largest aggregator of cyber
data across the U.S. Department of Defense, and sole developer and
operator of the department’s largest LVC (live, virtual and
constructive) training enterprise that leverages artificial
intelligence to maximize readiness while reducing costs.
With 20 years of experience in national security markets,
Chewning will guide HII’s corporate strategy, including identifying
new opportunities for growth, cross-division collaboration, and
potential investment.
“HII has a unique opportunity to continue to deliver the proven
capabilities our Navy urgently needs, while leading the way on
technologies that strengthen and connect the services into the
force of the future,” Kastner said. “Eric has the depth of
experience and vision to harness the breadth of HII’s talent and
resources and advance that mission in service of the nation.”

innovation base, a major American manufacturer, and vital
contributor to the day-to-day mission of advancing U.S. national
security,” Chewning said. “This is a mission worthy of all of our
best efforts, and I am honored and excited to join this driven and
committed leadership team.”
Most recently Chewning was the Americas co-lead for the
aerospace and defense practice at McKinsey & Company. A former
U.S. Department of Defense senior official, he served as the chief
of staff to the Secretary of Defense, advising on all policy,
