L3Harris Names Sam Mehta CEO After Christopher Kubasik Steps Down
L3Harris Technologies appointed Sam Mehta as its new President and CEO, effective immediately, following the departure of Christopher Kubasik. Kubasik stepped down after a board investigation found his conduct inconsistent with the company's code of conduct, unrelated to business performance. Mehta brings over 25 years of aerospace and defense experience, including leadership roles at Sikorsky Aircraft and Collins Aerospace. L3Harris also named Lewis Hay III as independent chairman and reaffirmed its 2026 financial forecast amid ongoing strategic changes.
