Jeremy Wensinger has been appointed as V2X president, CEO and member of the company’s board of directors effective June 17, succeeding Chuck Prow.
This appointment is the result of the board’s planning to ensure a smooth transition and continue V2X’s positive business momentum, the company said.
Wensinger has a 35-year career as a defense and government services industry executive, most recently serving as chief operating officer of Peraton Inc. Before that, he was in various leadership roles at Harris Corp., Cobham PLC and PAE Government Services, Inc.
“I am honored to join the V2X team as CEO,” Wensinger said. “I look forward to building on the considerable growth and operating improvements V2X has made, while taking a fresh look at the areas of the business where we can further capitalize on the full potential of our market opportunity. I am eager to begin working with the Board, leadership, and talented V2X team to execute on our strategic and financial goals and drive shareholder value.”
Throughout his career, Wensinger drove organic growth, implemented strong business development processes and differentiated technology strategies, executed business integrations and led business improvement initiatives.
“Following a thorough process to identify our next CEO, the Board is confident that Jeremy is a strong, experienced leader for V2X’s next chapter of growth,” said Mary Howell, chairman of V2X board of directors.
“He has a proven track record of delivering best-in-class financial and operational performance within the broad defense services and aerospace industry, as well as a strategic approach to managing businesses, building strong stakeholder relationships, and creating value.”
Howell continued, “As the company nears the two-year anniversary of completing the transformational merger of Vectrus with Vertex to create the V2X platform, we thank Chuck for his dedication and valuable contributions.”
“During his tenure as CEO, the company delivered significant organic growth as well as further diversified its contract and customer base, established entirely new technological and service capabilities, and delivered an enhanced customer and employee experience. We look forward to building upon these successes,” Howell said.
Prow also commented on his departure.
“I would like to thank V2X’s employees, as well as our clients and industry partners, for their trust and confidence in the journey which is now V2X,” he said. “Leading the talented men and women of V2X, deployed globally in support of some of our nation’s most critical missions, has been an honor and privilege.”
