Astrion has appointed seasoned industry leaders to its new executive leadership team to drive innovation and advance growth initiatives.
The company said Thursday the announcement of the new leadership team came a month after it closed its acquisition of mission engineering services provider Axient.
Astrion CEO Dave Zolet said the company’s combination with Axient simplifies operations for customers.
“Combining Axient and Astrion is about more than scale, it is a multiplication of possibilities,” noted Zolet, a four-time Wash100 awardee. “This executive team embodies our commitment to growth, diverse perspectives, and strategic expertise in addressing critical challenges across cybersecurity, mission support, systems engineering, and digital solutions.”
In addition to Zolet, other members of Astrion’s leadership team are:
- Adele Navarrete, chief legal officer
- Dalia Khanafseh, senior vice president, integration and transformation
- Dan Benjamin, executive vice president and general manager, space division
- Heather Wilson, chief human resource officer
- Jake Kennedy, chief financial officer
- Jeff Wehner, executive vice president and general manager, civilian agencies division

- Lauren Kilcoyne, executive vice president and general manager, Air Force division
- Ronald “Fog” Hahn, chief growth officer

In a LinkedIn post published Thursday, Boyd Brown, a U.S. Army veteran, announced that he has taken on the role of vice president of Special Operations and Intelligence Community business development at Astrion.
