Jerry Agee Named Acting President, Mission Systems Sector
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Northrop Grumman
Corporation (NYSE:NOC) confirmed today that President George W.
Bush has announced his intent to nominate Donald C. Winter, 57, to
become Secretary of the Navy. Winter currently serves as corporate
vice president and president of Northrop Grumman's Mission Systems
sector, a position he has held since January 2000. Given the time
demands of the confirmation process and to avoid any perception of
conflict of interest, Winter will step down immediately from his
current position. Until the hearings are concluded, he will report
to Ronald D. Sugar, Northrop Grumman's chairman, chief executive
officer and president, as an executive advisor to the CEO's office.
The company also announced that Jerry Agee, 62, deputy sector
president of Mission Systems, will serve as acting sector
president. Agee, an 18-year veteran of the company, has served as
deputy sector president of Mission Systems since July 2004. He
joined the company in 1987 following a distinguished career in the
U.S. Navy. The Mission Systems sector generated 2004 revenues of $5
billion and employs 18,000 people. "This announcement from the
White House is a well-deserved honor for Don, and is testimony to
his respect in both the military and intelligence communities,"
Sugar said. "If Don is confirmed, the expertise he has acquired
during a 35-year career devoted to developing defense systems and
supporting our military services will serve our nation very well."
Winter is a 30-year veteran of Northrop Grumman, and has also held
senior systems engineering and program management positions for a
variety of space system programs. He joined TRW Inc. in 1972 and
was president and CEO of TRW Systems when Northrop Grumman acquired
TRW in December 2002. From 1980 to 1982, Winter served as program
manager for space acquisition, tracking, and pointing programs at
the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. He was awarded
the Secretary of Defense Medal for Meritorious Civilian Service.
Winter earned a bachelor's degree (with highest distinction) in
physics from the University of Rochester. He received a master's
degree and a doctorate in physics from the University of Michigan.
