Lockheed leaders in Phila

Lockheed Martin Corp. expects to be able to keep the size of its Philadelphia-area work force at about 12,000, and hopes to be able to increase it, its head honcho said Thursday.

Bob Stevens talked about Lockheed Martin’s operations in the Philadelphia area with reporters from three local newspapers prior to the Bethesda, Md.-based company’s annual shareholders meeting at the Doubletree Hotel Philadelphia.

Also at the session were the executive vice presidents in charge of three of Lockheed’s four business areas:

• Chris Kubasik, who heads Electronic Systems, which includes Maritime Systems & Sensors in Moorestown, N.J.;

• Linda Gooden, who runs Information Systems & Global Services, which Lockheed Martin’s Upper Merion, Pa., operations fall under;

• And Joann Maguire, the head of Space Systems, which Lockheed Martin’s satellite plant in Newtown, Pa. belongs to.
