Technical and engineering services firm Amentum has hired retired Army Maj. Gen. Camille Nichols as executive vice president of project services. She will be responsible for Amentum’s contracts and procurement, ethics, IT security and real estate organizations.
Nichols has considerate expertise in business operations and knows the complex environment in which Amentum’s clients need to balance today’s and tomorrow’s readiness with pressures on the budget, said Amentum CEO John Vollmer.
“Her leadership will be critical as we continue our important work supporting our customers’ critical missions while also leveraging new enablers to solve new challenges and enhance operations and readiness in the decades to come,” he continued.
With over 20 years of Defense Department acquisition experience, Nichols served in key positions including director of business operations in the U.S. Army Office of Business Transformation and commanding general of the Army Contracting Command, among others.
Nichols comes to Amentum from Fluor, where she served as vice president of business operations for its government group.
“I look forward to leading a mission-focused team at Amentum as we help our customers solve emerging problems and enhance current capabilities,” Nichols said. “I am confident that we can help our customers find new efficiencies and deliver the best practical solutions that leverage new technologies and meet their needs.”
