Kevin McCoy has been appointed as BWX Technologies’ newest chief nuclear officer, the Lynchburg, Va.-based nuclear fuel company announced Monday.
McCoy, formerly the company’s Government Operations president since 2022, will be responsible for supporting the Department of Defense and Navy in accelerating Columbia- and Virginia-class submarine production.
As McCoy steps into his new role, Joseph Miller will take over as president of Government Operations and leave his role of president of BWXT Advanced Technologies that he had since 2021. Katherine (Kate) Haggerty Kelly will succeed Miller as president of BWXT Advanced Technologies.
These management changes come among others at the company, including the newest chief human resources officer Gonzalo Cajade.
A spokesperson at BWXT told the Exchange Monitor via email that McCoy is not replacing a role but filling a new position at BWXT “that will enable him to lend his deep experience in support of the Navy.” The spokesperson added that McCoy will spend the majority of his time focused on accelerating the Navy’s pace of Columbia- and Virginia-class submarine production.
