Marillyn Hewson, the next chief executive officer of Lockheed Martin Corp., has spent 29 years at the company working her way to the top of the mostly male world of defense contractors.
Lockheed said yesterday that Hewson, 58, will become its CEO in January. Christopher E. Kubasik, who was supposed to get the job, resigned after the company discovered he had a “lengthy, close and personal relationship” with a subordinate, the company said.
