DeMuro will also continue to serve on the board of directors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI think it is one of the primary responsibilities you have, as a CEO, to develop the talent,\u201d DeMuro told Defense News when asked about succession planning in an exclusive interview Dec. 7, during the Reagan National Defense Forum. \u201cAnd leadership succession, in particular CEO succession, isn\u2019t always smooth. I think this is a natural progression, making it smooth for our customers, our shareholders, all stakeholders and our employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s just about progressing to that point where we on the board feel it\u2019s time to hand that baton off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DeMuro has served as CEO since 2014, when he succeeded Linda Hudson. Among his key priorities during the last five years has been unifying a business primarily born out of acquisition. With Tom\u2019s April appointment, Jerry will transition to an advisory role, providing advice and counsel to leadership with both BAE Systems Inc. in the U.S. and BAE System plc in Europe on a number of priority programs. Within the scope of his responsibilities will be chairing the internal program reviews for several key international pursuits. He will also continue to advance the defense industry\u2019s positioning regarding evolving cybersecurity requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/interviews\/2017\/10\/23\/interview-bae-systems-ceo-jerry-demuro-talks-priority-programs-and-the-trump-proactive-approach\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/22_Interview_Demuro.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Interview: BAE Systems CEO DeMuro talks priority programs, and the Trump \u2018proactive\u2019 approach<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">In a wide-ranging interview with Defense News, the chief of the BAE Systems U.S. subsidiary speaks about program priorities, the new administration as a catalyst for progress, the benefit of industry perspective at the Pentagon, and the &#039;bemusing&#039; concerns expressed on the Hill.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arseneault, who in May also added \u201cpresident\u201d to his title and was elected to the company\u2019s board, is currently responsible for delivering business and functional performance across the company\u2019s three sectors.
