Kevin Leonard, former senior vice president of contingency operations at Vectrus (NYSE: VEC), has been named president and CEO at Charleston, South Carolina-based military logistics services provider Technica.
The retired U.S. Army major general will lead Technica in efforts to support customers such as the Department of Defense and succeeds Amy Roddey, who transitioned to a new role as chairman of the board of directors, the company said.
Leonard led the Military Surface Deployment Distribution Command, where he was responsible for deployment and distribution work across expeditionary missions, before he concluded his 33-year military career.
His private sector career also includes leadership roles at Fluor (NYSE: FLR) and Amazon (NYSE: AMZN).
The National Defense Industrial Association recognized Leonard with its Logistician Emeritus Award in 2014 for his significant contributions to the U.S. military’s logistical operations.
