Elbit Systems of America (Elbit America) has made two additions to its board of directors, the company announced on 30 October 2024.

Todd Gautier and Scott Greene, both of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, joined the company’s board in October.

Gautier has more than 35 years of combined experience in the US Navy and in the aerospace and defence industry. He spent more than 20 years at L3Harris Technologies, retiring as president of L3Harris Aviation Systems. The multi-billion-dollar segment provided solutions, products and services to the US Department of Defense (DoD), allies and select commercial markets. Prior to his tenure at L3Harris, Gautier served a little more than 14 years in the US Navy as a naval aviator and F/A-18 pilot. Gautier has a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Southern Methodist University.

Greene’s career in the aerospace and defence industry spanned more than four decades. He retired from Lockheed Martin as executive vice president of the company’s Missile and Fire Control business area. He was affiliated with Lockheed Martin for most of his career, working in several lines of business, supporting the DoD and international partners. Through various leadership roles with the company, Greene honed his finance, strategic planning, operations, engineering, and product development expertise. Greene has a bachelor’s degree in business and applied economics from Cornell University.

“As Elbit America continues to grow our portfolio and capacity as a critical member of the US defense-industrial base, it’s important that we have sound guidance.
