NSTec Names New President
The company that manages the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) on Wednesday announced that it was promoting an executive to the position of president.
National Security Technologies (NSTec) Vice President for Program Integration Christopher Deeney will replace Raymond Juzaitis, who is retiring. Deeney for a limited time will also maintain his vice presidential duties, according to a NSTec press release.
Deeney has been with NSTec since August 2013, first as chief technology officer and then vice president for program integration. “Under his leadership, the internal R&D program expanded, the partnership between stockpile and global security programs increased, and the technical elements in the NSTec mission areas were enhanced,” the release states.
Prior to joining NSTec, Deeney worked in several positions at the Sandia National Laboratories starting in 1995, and then in 2006 moved to the National Nuclear Security Administration, where he would lead the U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program for three years.
“Chris’s extensive experience in the nation’s nuclear weapons enterprise, and his keen knowledge of stewardship experimental physics, engineering, combined with his leadership and management credentials make him an ideal choice to lead NSTec and the NNSS into the future,” NSTec Board of Managers Chairman Greg Schmidt said in the press release. “We are fortunate to have a person of Chris’s caliber leading an already talented NNSS team. He is an award-winning scientist and an experienced technical leader and manager.
NSTEc is a joint venture of Northrop Grumman, AECOM, Babcock & Wilcox, and CH2M Hill. It manages and operates the NNSS, which houses several facilities that support the nation’s nuclear stockpile, and associated sites.
