Las Vegas-based Longenecker & Associates has hired James Veres as to its newly created post of chief financial officer and vice president of business operations effective Oct. 22.
The Energy Department subcontractor announced the addition in a Monday news release. Since 2011 Veres has been chief financial officer at BCS, a government services firm and subsidiary of Montero Williams International.
Veres has over 30 years of contract and business management experience, having been a partner at IBM following its acquisition of National Interest Security, where he held a senior vice president role. Veres was also CFO for Technology and Management Services (TMS) prior to its purchase in 2007 by National Interest Security.
Veras will be in charge of day-to-day financial management of L&A. He will also support the company’s portfolio of projects for the DOE’s Office of Environmental Management and the semiautonomous National Nuclear Security Administration. Veres will be based out of Washington, D.C.
“As we grow, we know that our business management functions are an important part of success,” L&A CEO Bonnie Longenecker said. “We are proud to have James on board to lead these efforts and support our missions across the complex.”
Longenecker, which was founded in 1989, is one of the key subcontractors for Newport News Nuclear BWXT-Los Alamos (N3B), which has a 10-year, $1.39 billion legacy cleanup contract which started in April at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.
