Jeremy Wensinger, a defense and government services industry executive who has been serving as chief operating officer of Peraton since 2017, will succeed Chuck Prow, CEO of V2X and a 10-time Wash100 Award recipient, as president and chief executive of the Virginia-headquartered aerospace and defense company.
The executive leadership transition will take effect on June 17 and is made nearly two years after V2X was formed with the merger of Vectrus with Vertex, the government services provider said Monday.
Commenting on Prow’s leadership, Mary Howell, chair of the board of directors at V2X, remarked, “During his tenure as CEO, the company delivered significant organic growth as well as further diversified its contract and customer base, established entirely new technological and service capabilities and delivered an enhanced customer and employee experience.”
Prow, on the other hand, expressed gratitude to V2X employees, customers and industry partners for trusting “the journey which is now V2X.”
“Leading the talented men and women of V2X, deployed globally in support of some of our nation’s most critical missions, has been an honor and privilege,” the outgoing CEO added.
Prow’s successor Wensinger will bring to V2X 35 years of industry experience. Aside from his stint at Peraton, his career includes time holding leadership positions at Cobham and the former Harris and PAE Government Services companies.
“Following a thorough process to identify our next CEO, the board is confident that Jeremy is a strong, experienced leader for V2X’s next chapter of growth,” said Howell. “He has a proven track record of delivering best-in-class financial and operational performance within the broad defense services and aerospace industry, as well as a strategic approach to managing businesses, building strong stakeholder relationships and creating value.”
Wensinger was also appointed as member of the V2X board.
