Insights

Defense & Aerospace Corporate Governance Analyst

L3Harris is realigning leadership and consolidating its business segments.

L3Harris Technologies is shifting Edward Zoiss from his role as President of the Space & Airborne Systems segment to Vice President, Engineering & Innovation. This moves him into a function-focused position overseeing engineering and innovation activities rather than leading a single operating segment.

The company is also reorganizing from four to three business segments, as disclosed in an accompanying press release. Consolidating segments typically affects internal reporting lines, decision-making structures, and how performance is managed, though this excerpt does not provide financial details.

These changes formally took effect around the end of the fiscal year on January 2, 2026, and were publicly announced on January 5, 2026. Subsequent company communications may describe how the three-segment structure aligns with products, customers, and long-term strategy.
