Executive Leadership

BAE Systems is managed through a combination of operational line leaders responsible for the operation and performance of their respective businesses and functional leaders providing Group-wide expertise and guidance. The line leaders report to two Chief Operating Officers principally reflecting the geographic spread of the Group, split between US-led operations, and operations in the UK and other regions. The Chief Executive, Chief Operating Officers and Group Finance Director are members of the Board. An Executive Committee, comprising members from the senior leadership team, is the focus for developing and delivering the Group’s strategy.
