The latest announcement is out from BWX Technologies ( (BWXT) ).
On February 18, 2026, BWX Technologies’ board of directors voted to expand its membership from nine to ten and appointed aerospace and defense veteran Dan Jablonsky as a director, effective March 2, 2026, with his initial term running through the company’s 2026 annual shareholder meeting. The board determined that he is an independent director, named him to the audit and finance committee, and confirmed that he meets U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission requirements as an audit committee financial expert.
Jablonsky, formerly chief executive officer and chairman of Ursa Major and previously CEO of Maxar Technologies, brings deep experience in space propulsion, satellite imagery and complex corporate turnarounds, including leading Maxar through a $6.4 billion take-private transaction. His appointment is expected to strengthen BWXT’s board oversight and support the company’s strategy to accelerate growth in the space and defense sectors, aligning board expertise more closely with its expanding high-tech and national security-focused business portfolio.
