Keith Wood, vice president of marketing and communications for Amentum’s Energy and Environment business, plans to retire in July.
Wood, who has spent 37 years with Amentum and its predecessor companies, will retire effective July 3, according to an Amentum staff email from Amentum Energy & Environment President Mark Whitney.
Wood has earned much “respect and gratitude from colleagues and industry peers alike” and “has been a great partner and advisor,” Whitney said in the email, viewed by Exchange Monitor. Whitney made the announcement together with Amentum Senior Vice President for Market and Communications Roela Santos.
“As we prepare for Keith’s retirement, we are thrilled to announce that Rob Roxburgh will assume the role of vice president of marketing and communications for the E&E Group,” Whitney went on to say. “Rob will officially begin transitioning into his new position on June 8, working closely with Keith to ensure a seamless handoff of responsibilities and strategic priorities.”
Roxburgh is currently communications director for the Amentum led Central Plateau Cleanup Company, which does environmental remediation at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site in Washington state. He has more than 20 years in corporate communications. Earlier in his career, Roxburgh was a television news anchor and reporter.
Wood works out of Amentum’s Aiken, S.C. offices at the Savannah River Site.
