He worked at Ernst & Young, PricewaterhouseCoopers and IBM before becoming president and CEO of Vectrus in 2016.

In June, V2X won a spot on a $32.5 billion Air Force training systems contract and in April, it received a seven-year, $440 million Navy aircraft support contract.

A graduate of Northwest Missouri State University, Prow serves on the International Research & Exchanges Board (IREX).
