Amentum has named Joseph DeNardi senior vice president and head of investor relations. He comes from SAIC, where he most recently led corporate financial planning and analysis, investor relations and treasury.

Before SAIC, DeNardi spent years as a managing director in equity research at Stifel Financial, covering aerospace and defense and government services — giving him a buy-side view of the sector before crossing into industry.

He succeeds Nathan Rutledge, who left the company after steering investor relations through Amentum’s merger with Jacobs’ Critical Mission Solutions and Cyber and Intelligence businesses and the combined company’s subsequent public listing.

DeNardi holds a bachelor’s degree from the College of William & Mary and a master’s in finance from Loyola University Maryland.
