Northrop VP Kenneth Robinson Promoted to Chief Diversity Officer

President Joe Biden has issued a new memo that seeks to revitalize the workforce at national security and foreign policy agencies through the adoption of six core principles: modernization, transparency, integrity, diversity, service and accountability. The memo highlights the need for agencies to maintain their technological edge by addressing gaps in skills and mission-critical knowledge, hiring and retaining technical talent, establishing rewards and incentives for innovation and providing the workforce with new technologies and agile and adaptive organizational structures.
