John Lucio, once a staff member of the Senate Appropriations defense subcommittee, was appointed director of government relations by Lynchburg, Va.-based BWX Technologies, the company said last week.
Most recently Lucio was a senior vice president at Ervin Graves Strategy Group in Washington, D.C., BWXT said in a May 1 press release.
A retired commissioned officer of the U.S. Navy, Lucio has also been director of government affairs for Undersea Warfare with the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, BWXT said in the release.
At BWXT, Lucio will seek to enhance the company’s relationship with both Congress and the executive branch, BWXT said in the release. In addition to its work in nuclear power and Department of Energy nuclear cleanup, BWXT also manufactures naval nuclear reactors for U.S. submarines and aircraft carriers.
