Amentum has appointed Travis Johnson to its senior leadership team as chief financial officer, tasked with all financial activities including accounting, finance strategy, business operations, planning and analysis, compliance, tax and treasury.
“Travis brings valuable leadership and strengths, not just in financial management, but also in strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and business transformation,” said CEO John Heller. “As part of our senior leadership team, he will play an important role as we drive towards our growth strategy of modernization for the U.S. government and our allies around the world.”
Prior to joining Amentum, Johnson was senior vice president, corporate controller and chief accounting officer of CACI. Before that, he served as chief accounting officer at FLIR Systems and KeyW Corp., leading transformation efforts that led to the sale of both companies for industry-leading multiples and shareholder returns.
He also worked in a variety of finance leadership roles at Leidos and began his career in public accounting at RSM.
“I am honored to be appointed as CFO at this critical time for Amentum,” Johnson said. “I look forward to working with John, the senior leadership team, and the talented finance team as the company continues to execute on its strategic and financial priorities focused on value-added growth and operational excellence.”
He replaces outgoing CFO Charlie Mathis, who retired from Amentum in June.
“On behalf of the whole Amentum team, I want to thank Charlie for his two-year leadership during a crucial period of the company, and we congratulate him on his retirement,” Heller said.
