Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced that Kevin M. Rayment, its executive vice president and chief operating officer, will succeed Lynn Bamford as chief executive officer, effective January 1, 2027. Rayment will also become president and join Curtiss-Wright’s board. Bamford will retire as CEO and transition to executive chair after six years in the role. The move is described as a thoughtful, planned succession aligned with the Pivot to Growth strategy. Bamford has overseen expansion in Aerospace & Defense and Commercial markets, delivering record sales, profitability, new orders, backlog and free cash flow, and returning about $1.7 billion to shareholders via buybacks and dividends, aided by acquisitions. Rayment, with 35 years at the company, has led operations since 2021 and previously headed the Commercial/Industrial segment. The transition aims to sustain growth and shareholder value. Internal, planned succession from a long-tenured CEO to the COO ensures continuity with potential near-term strategic and execution implications.
