Nearly two years after the merger of Harris Corp. and L3 Technologies Inc. created L3Harris Technologies Inc., the company has named its second CEO. Chris Kubasik, the former chief operating officer, is now CEO of the Melbourne, Florida-based defense and information technology contractor, executing a transition plan that was laid out in October 2018 when the two companies were strategizing their merger. Former CEO Bill Brown - who came into the combined company as Harris Corp.'s CEO - will retain his chairman role as part of the transition, and become executive chairman.
