About DEMARCO ERIC M

Eric M. DeMarco is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a publicly traded U.S. company focused on defense technologies, national security systems, and mission-critical solutions. He joined Kratos in November 2003, when the company was still Wireless Facilities, Inc., as President and Chief Operating Officer. In April 2004, he became CEO and was appointed to the Board of Directors. Since then, he has been the key executive behind Kratos’ long-term transformation from a commercial wireless infrastructure business into a national security technology company, with growth driven through both internal development and strategic acquisitions. Before joining Kratos, Mr. DeMarco served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Titan Corporation, later acquired by L-3. During his tenure there, Titan expanded from roughly $150 million in annualized revenue to $1.5 billion, with backlog exceeding $4 billion. That record is often cited as evidence of his experience in scaling complex government-focused businesses, improving operating performance, and guiding corporate transformation. Earlier in his career, Mr. DeMarco held public accounting roles, where he worked primarily with large multinational corporations and publicly traded companies. That background gave him a strong foundation in financial discipline, governance, risk oversight, and executive decision-making. He has also held leadership and board-related responsibilities in organizations connected to the aerospace and defense ecosystem, including service with the Aerospace Industries Association. At Kratos, his leadership has been associated with several notable strategic priorities: reshaping the company toward defense and national security markets, expanding capabilities in unmanned systems, space, propulsion, and microwave electronics, and using acquisitions to strengthen the company’s technology portfolio. His career is widely characterized by turnaround leadership, operational execution, and building durable shareholder value through business repositioning and disciplined growth.
