Tom Vecchiolla, a 15-year veteran of Raytheon (NYSE: RTN), has been appointed president and CEO of engineering services contractor VT Systems in a move slated to take effect Dec. 1.
He will succeed John Coburn, who has led VT Systems over the past 17 years and will remain as its non-executive chairman, the company said Monday.
Vecchiolla is the founder of Washington, D.C.-based Artisan Consulting, which offers advisory services to the aerospace and defense sectors.
