Nightwing has appointed Bob Coleman as CEO, succeeding John DeSimone, who’s leaving the company after seven years.
Coleman is a Nightwing board member who brings decades of technology leadership experience to the role.
“I am honored to join Nightwing at such a transformative time in history that underscores the critical importance of our work and the unique role we play in safeguarding national security interests,” Coleman said. “Nightwing’s incredible legacy has been built on a foundation of bold ideas, relentless determination, and an unwavering commitment to our customers. We look forward to continuing to push the boundaries of innovation, setting new standards of excellence, and strengthening Nightwing’s role as a driving force in the defense and intelligence community as we deliver for our customers and the nation.”
