Can you expand on the last bit?Lockheed's BOD: Board of Directors
A couple of retired generals, a bunch of former CEO's, and curiously...a number of former CEO's related to the energy sector. A defense company with so many ties to petroleum?
Boeing: Corporate Governance
More generals and more ties to the petroleum industry
Raytheon: Corporate Governance
The usual GO/FO mix, but this time it's invested heavily in tech sector CEOs.
Northrop: Company Leadership | Northrop Grumman
Two GO/ FO's and a lot of former CFOs
Lastly, General Dynamics: General Dynamics - Corporate Governance - Board of Directors
4 retired generals (including James Mattis), 3 US, 1 UK. An even smattering of former DoD officials, CFOs, and tech sector folks.
Those are the boards, who is really moving and shaking? Dunno.
Not for nothing, here's some financial numbers for the top 100 globally: Top 100 | Defense News, News about defense programs, business, and technology
I do find it very curious to see how the top 5 in the US have slanted their boards towards certain people or business sectors.
Also wondering how long those people have been in their current positions. Cause if you can figure out what social circles and similarities these people share, can you find out what their motives are. It's like doing kinship diagrams, but instead of tracing sons & daughters you trace contacts.
