Marillyn Hewson: Lockheed Martin’s Chairman, President, and CEO

Marillyn Hewson’s leadership as CEO of Lockheed Martin since 2013 has arguably made her one of the most powerful women in the world. The self-described “global security and aerospace company” employs over 100k around the world, and is the country’s largest government contractor.

Lockheed is leading the way towards the development of hypersonic weapons, breaking the barrier without a sonic boom. Lockheed stock under Hewson has been on a tailwind for years, rising more than 300%.
