BWX Technologies Inc. (BWXT) said Friday that the executive chairman of its board of directors will transition to a non-executive chairman role, effective May 4.
John A. Fees has served as executive chairman of BWXT since July 2015 when the company spun off its power generation business to focus on government and commercial nuclear markets.
He served as chairman of the company from 2010 to 2015, following its spin-off from McDermott International, Inc., an engineering and construction company with a focus on energy. He was chief executive officer of McDermott from October 2008 until July 2010, at which time he retired from the company after 31 years of service.
