Dynetics will operate as Leidos’ wholly owned subsidiary under the leadership of Dynetics CEO David King, who will directly report to Roger Krone, chairman and CEO of Leidos and a 2020 Wash100 winner.

"Dynetics and Leidos share a commitment to advancing technology to address the toughest scientific and engineering challenges of our day.
