Thomas will have overall responsibility for contracts, pricing, and export/import licensing and compliance for the Newport News shipyard and will report to Don Godwin, Newport News’ chief financial officer.
She joined HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding division in 2006 and has held director-level positions in supply chain management, business management, business development, and contracts and pricing.

“Christie’s contributions to HII have been invaluable,” Godwin said. “She brings a wealth of knowledge to this role, and I am confident that she will help strengthen our team and prepare us to transition into our future.”
