Michael Dignam, Chairman of the Board

Michael Dignam is the President of Readiness and Stability Operations, one of the fastest growing businesses in Lockheed Martin. As RSO President, Michael leads more than 14,000 men and women delivering rapid, cost-effective capabilities in logistics, training, readiness, mission operations support, peacekeeping, disaster and emergency preparedness contingency response, stability operations and technology services. Readiness and Stability Operations supports the United States military, Department of State classified agencies, international organizations, and partner nation governments in some of the most challenging situations and locations imaginable. Working on more than 300 contracts in more than 70 countries around the world and 150 locations within the U.S., Readiness and Stability Operations is able to be there for customers at a moment's notice, whenever needed and for as long as necessary to get the job done.

Michael started his career with the Services organization in 1987 as a member of the GE Aerospace Finance team. For the next 20 years, Michael held increasingly responsible leadership and management roles within various services, businesses and locations. Michael served for five years as the Vice President and CFO for Lockheed Martin Information Technology (LMIT). During that period LMIT grew from a $250M software support service provider to a $2.5B full service enterprise information technology provider. He made key leadership contributions to the growth, particularly in the area of acquisition and integration activity. In 2005, Michael transitioned from this financial role to a leadership role in Operations within LMIT. With the acquisition of PAE in 2006, Michael became the Transition Executive/COO and led the creation and development of the new line of business focused on enabling the federal Government's mission to provide "development, diplomacy and defense" services around the world.

Michael holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from the University of Scranton and is a graduate from the GE Financial Management Program.
