The new president of Sikorsky Aircraft is settling in just after the helicopter manufacturer doubled its pace of hiring in 2020 and he’s promising to keep it up this year.
Paul Lemmo, who took the top job Jan. 4, is leading Sikorsky, a subsidiary of defense giant Lockheed Martin Corp., as it rides a wave of strong, though not rising, military spending in response to threats in Asia. The Stratford manufacturer is designing and building three critical helicopter programs.
