KBR (KBR) announced that Byron Bright has resigned from his position as COO and will leave the company on July 11. In January, KBR announced a realignment of its portfolio into two business segments, Mission Technology Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions. In connection with this realignment, Bright moved into the COO role from his previous position as president of MTS, and the company appointed new leadership for the MTS business segment. Doug Hill became president of KBR’s Readiness & Sustainment business, and Mark Kavanaugh became President of KBR’s Defense, Intel and Space portfolio globally. Hill and Kavanaugh have each served in multiple executive leadership positions at KBR for over eight years, are members of KBR’s executive leadership team and will now report directly to the CEO alongside Jay Ibrahim, president of KBR’s STS business. As a result of Hill and Kavanaugh’s leading MTS, KBR expects no operational disruption in the MTS business or the broader KBR portfolio as a result of Bright’s departure.
