AEVEX has appointed Murali Krishnan as Chief Growth Officer. In this role, he will lead the company's enterprise growth strategy, overseeing global business development, customer engagement, strategic partnerships, and long-term market expansion. Krishnan will work closely with AEVEX's executive leadership team to accelerate growth across unmanned systems, advanced mission solutions, and technology-enabled defense capabilities.
Krishnan joins AEVEX from Northrop Grumman Space Systems, where he served as Sector Vice President and General Manager of the Payload and Ground Systems Division, leading a portfolio spanning national security, defense, and civil space programs. Earlier, he was Sector Vice President of Strategic Growth for Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, overseeing strategy, business development, government relations, customer engagement, and international growth.

Why this matters: AEVEX's appointment of an executive with deep experience in defense technology and national security reflects the company's focus on expanding its position in the rapidly evolving defense and autonomous systems market. Krishnan's background in growth strategy, space systems, and mission-critical technologies positions AEVEX to strengthen customer relationships and pursue new opportunities across U.S. and allied defense programs.
