Arlington-based BAE Systems Inc. said Tuesday it has added retired Navy Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert to its board of directors. He will serve a three-year term.
Before his retirement in October, Greenert served a combined six years as the chief of naval operations (CNO) and vice chief of naval operations, the two most senior military positions in the Navy.
As CNO, he served as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He advised the president and the secretary of defense on a range of matters, including U.S. and global maritime security, overall naval operations and budget, and the positioning of Navy bases, ships and aircraft.
Previously, he was in charge of four Navy fleet commands and commanded the nuclear-powered submarine USS Honolulu.
BAE Systems is the U.S. subsidiary of BAE Systems plc, an international defense, aerospace and security company.
