Northrop Grumman Announces CFO Transition

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Nov. 6, 2025 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) announces that its board of directors has elected John Greene corporate vice president and chief financial officer (CFO), effective Jan. 7, 2026. He will report to Kathy Warden, chair, chief executive officer and president.

Greene will succeed Ken Crews, who has announced his intent to leave the company, effective Feb. 20, 2026, to pursue other interests. Crews will remain the company’s CFO through Jan. 7. Once Greene joins the company, Crews will serve in an advisory capacity to ensure a smooth transition.

“John is a seasoned finance executive with a distinguished record of global leadership and deep experience across complex, highly regulated industries,” said Warden. “He has consistently managed strategic capital deployment, operational discipline, and shareholder value creation. We are excited to welcome him to Northrop Grumman and look forward to his leadership as we navigate a dynamic market with significant opportunities for growth.”

“On behalf of the company and the board of directors, I want to thank Ken for his dedicated service to our company over his 22-year career with Northrop Grumman,” said Warden. “He’s a valued member of our team and leader to our finance team. I have confidence in his continued leadership as we finish the year strong.”

Most recently, Greene was chief financial officer for Discover Financial Services for six years, prior to its acquisition by Capital One. Previously, he served as chief financial officer for Bioverativ, a global pharmaceutical company, and Willis Group Holdings. He also served as chief financial officer for multiple business units within HBSC Holdings, including retail bank and wealth management. Greene began his career with Ernst & Young and worked for 12 years at General Electric.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from State University of New York and a Master of Business Administration degree from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.

The company is reaffirming 2025 financial guidance and 2026 outlook, as shared during the last quarterly earnings call on October 21.
