KBR chief operating officer Byron Bright resigns

KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced that Chief Operating Officer Byron Bright has resigned and will leave the company on July 11, 2025.

Bright served 15 years with the Houston-based engineering and technology services company. He moved into the COO role in January 2025 from his previous position as President of Mission Technology Solutions following a company realignment.

The company reorganized its portfolio into two business segments in January 2025: Mission Technology Solutions and Sustainable Technology Solutions. Doug Hill became President of KBR's Readiness & Sustainment business, while Mark Kavanaugh became President of KBR's Defense, Intel and Space portfolio. Both executives have served in leadership positions at KBR for over eight years and will report directly to CEO Stuart Bradie.

"We wish Byron the very best for the future, and I personally would like to thank him for all he has contributed to KBR," said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. "Recent events present an opportunity to reset MTS with a strong focus on growth, margin expansion and continued execution with excellence in our core businesses."

KBR stated it expects no operational disruption in the Mission Technology Solutions business or broader company portfolio as a result of Bright's departure.

The company will provide additional details during its second quarter 2025 earnings call scheduled for July 31, 2025. KBR employs approximately 38,000 people worldwide with customers in more than 80 countries.
