Gen. Arnold Punaro in a statement. “We’ve selected a strong leader at a time of great challenge in the defense marketplace, With his proven experience and accomplishments in our industry, the legislative branch, and two of the largest, most complex federal government organizations, David is capable from day one to continue enhancing the industry-government relationship that is essential to supporting the warfighter and the taxpayer. He will also continue NDIA’s strong tradition of nonpartisan leadership.”
