Michael Dignam, Chairman of the Board

Michael Dignam serves as President of PAE, a global company and leading provider of smart power services to the U.S. government. Prior to taking this role, Michael served as President of Lockheed Martin's Readiness & Stability Operations (RSO) organization, under which PAE operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary for five years. He led the creation and development of the RSO line of business, which focused on enabling the U.S. Government's mission of "Defense, Diplomacy and Development" and providing full spectrum smart power logistics to customers around the world.
Prior to Lockheed Martin's acquisition of PAE, Michael was the Chief Financial Officer of Lockheed Martin's Information Technology business unit. He began his career with General Electric in 1987 as a member of the GE Financial Management Program, and he held roles of increasing responsibility as the Corporation transitioned via industry consolidations to Martin Marietta and Lockheed Martin.
