Lockheed Martin CFO Steps Down

In a surprising move, Lockheed Martin Corporation revealed on Thursday that Jesus Malave, its Chief Financial Officer, has decided to leave the company. This announcement marks a significant change in the leadership of the renowned defense and aerospace manufacturer.

New CFO Appointed

The company wasted no time in appointing Evan Scott as the new CFO and vice president, with the decision taking effect immediately. Scott, a 26-year veteran at Lockheed Martin, is no stranger to the company's operations and financial strategies.

Leadership's Confidence in Scott

"Evan has demonstrated exceptional leadership and a deep understanding of our business and mission over his decades of service. We are confident in his ability to guide our financial strategies and support our continued growth," stated James Taiclet, Chairman, President, and CEO of Lockheed Martin.

Despite the leadership change, Lockheed Martin assured stakeholders that the release of its first-quarter financial results remains on schedule for April 22.
