KBR Announces New Leadership and Investor Relations Lead

HOUSTON, Sept. 24, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- KBR, a global, capital-light lifecycle solutions company serving high-complexity industrial, energy, and infrastructure markets, has welcomed Michael LaRouche as its new President and Chief Executive Officer-Designate of Trinzic, the planned spin-off of its Mission Technology Solutions business. Trinzic is expected to launch on January 4, 2027, as a publicly traded global company, and will focus on delivering technology-forward solutions to governments, partners, and allies worldwide.

Trinzic will employ 18,000 engineers, scientists, and other domain experts who are embedded in the programs they serve or stationed at the company’s 60 locations around the world. LaRouche, who is based in the company’s principal executive office in Arlington, Virginia, will oversee the company’s strategy and execution, drawing on three decades of experience gained through senior leadership roles at Serco, SAIC, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin.

In anticipation of the planned spin-off, KBR also announced that Gabe Butler will join the company on October 5 as Vice President-Designate of Investor Relations for Trinzic. Butler, who brings more than 14 years of experience across program finance, investor relations, and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), most recently served as Director of FP&A for the Government Operations segment at BWX Technologies and previously held finance and investor relations leadership roles at Leidos. Butler will play a key role in preparations for and execution of Trinzic's inaugural Investor Day on November 12 in New York City.

Trinzic will have more than $5 billion in annual revenue and a diverse portfolio spanning integrated air and missile defense, human performance, global operations, space exploration, and space domain awareness. The planned spin-off is intended to be tax-free to KBR and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes and remains subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals and final approval by KBR’s Board of Directors. Following the spin-off, New KBR will continue to be led by Stuart Bradie and will encompass the company’s Sustainable Technology Solutions business.

KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions business is expected to be spun off as an independent public company in January 2027 and will then operate under the new name Trinzic. The name is inspired by the word intrinsic, reflecting the essential capabilities, deep expertise, speed, and trusted performance that have defined the business for decades. Trinzic will enter the market as a global company and partner to customers supporting some of the highest priority missions across national security, human performance, global operations, and space. Trinzic will launch with more than $5 billion in annual revenue, established partnerships and contracts, 18,000 employees, and a global footprint.
