Jack Hughes, formerly CFO of Alion Science, discusses the future

Jack Hughes

Jack Hughes recently retired as CFO of Alion Science. Well, sort of. While Hughes officially stepped down from his position, he’s still supporting the company he has helped build up over the past five years. In the following Q&A, Hughes talks about what’s next on the horizon, and what other executives can learn from his career trajectory. Hint: Networking is key.

Recently we all learned that you retired as CFO of Alion Science. What are you doing now?

Jack Hughes: I didn’t actually retire from Alion; I’m too young to retire. And, I’m still supporting the company in an advisory role to help with the transition to the new acting CFO, and perform other tasks as assigned by the CEO. This interim role will continue until mid-August. I am hopeful that I can continue to contribute to Alion’s success during this transition period.
