He will serve on Lockheedâs classified business and security committee and nominating and corporate governance panel, the company said Friday.
Dunfordâs âexperience in complex, global operations and risk management, including cybersecurity threats, is a tremendous asset and will enhance board oversight in key business areas,â said Marillyn Hewson, Lockheed chairman, president and CEO and a 2020 Wash100 award winner.
