Huntington Ingalls Industries said Tuesday it on June 4 formally made Sharon Brady the new chief operating officer for subsidiary Stoller Newport News Nuclear (SN3), a significant player in the Energy Department complex.
Brady has worked in a variety of corporate and government contract posts at SN3 predecessor Stoller since 2001, the company said in a press release. Huntington Ingalls Industries acquired S.M. Stoller Corp. in 2014. After the deal, S.M. Stoller was merged with its owner’s Newport News Nuclear subsidiary.
Most recently, Brady was director of business services at DOE’s Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) in South Carolina, responsible for a variety of areas including finance, procurement, management, and training. Stoller Newport News Nuclear partners with Fluor and Honeywell in Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, which manages the laboratory and other operations at the Savannah River Site under a $9.5 billion contract that expires at the end of July.
Brady is a former vice president of business operations and director of human resources for SN3, and she supported an average of 45 active contracts for government and commercial clients, according to an online SRNL biography. The new COO has 35 years of senior level experience in financial and business management, including electronic data systems, and cost controls.
A Stoller-led team, Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos (N3B) in late April took over a 10-year, $1.39 billion contract to manage legacy nuclear cleanup at DOE’s Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico.
