Cubic announced its board of directors has elected president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Bradley H. Feldmann as chairman of the board. Feldmann succeeds Walter Zable, who has served on the board of directors since 1976 and held the position of chairman for the past five years.

Since being appointed president and CEO, Feldmann has spearheaded the company’s strategic growth plan targeted at building the defense and transportation businesses and growing its offerings in the emerging Command, Control, Communications, Computers Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) market at the edge of the battlefield.

Under his leadership, Cubic ended fiscal year 2017 with record sales and the highest backlog in company history. This success was attributed by major contract wins in New York and Boston to deliver next-generation fare payment systems; continued support of U.S. Army’s Joint Readiness Training Center in Fort Polk, Louisiana; and the full-rate production of the Gatr satellite antenna system under the Transportable Tactical Command Communication (T2C2) award from the U.S. Army.

Feldmann became president and CEO of Cubic Corporation in July 2014 and was appointed to the board of directors in May 2014. Previously, he served as Cubic’s president and COO, and was also the president of Cubic’s Defense Systems segment for five years.
