“Harris joined Newport News Shipbuilding after serving in the U.S. Navy on both aircraft carriers and submarines,” said Newport News Shipbuilding President Matt Mulherin. “His military background, together with his engineering education, have been a great fit, and he has created new opportunities for the business and positioned us well for the future.”
Mason will assume leadership of AMSEC on Nov. 14 after a transition period and will be responsible for all aspects of AMSEC’s daily operations, reporting directly to Mulherin.
“Brad brings to this position years of experience with AMSEC in addition to 22 years of service in the U.S. Navy,” Mulherin said. “His knowledge and experience are critical to the company’s growth and continued success.”
Mason earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the United States Naval Academy and a master’s degree from the U.S. Naval Post Graduate School. He joined AMSEC in 1998 and served most recently as the company’s director of operations for maintenance, modernization and technical services.
