Kathy Warden, president and chief operating officer of Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) and a three-time Wash100 recipient, has been elected to serve as president and CEO of the company in a move slated to take effect Jan. 1.

She will succeed Wes Bush, who will continue to serve as chairman through July of next year, and also join the board of directors, Northrop said Thursday.
