Kubasik named COO at L-3

L-3 Communications said today it has named Chris Kubasik -- a former top Lockheed Martin executive -- its president and chief operating officer, effective immediately.

Kubasik joins L-3 from the Seabury Advisory Group, where he has been chief executive for the past two years.

Before that, he spent more than a decade at Lockheed Martin, serving as chief financial officer, heading the electronic systems business and eventually serving as chief operating officer and president. He was tapped to become CEO before resigning in late 2012 after the company said he had a personal relationship with a subordinate employee.
