Under his leadership, Aviation Week has won numerous accolades for its in-depth reporting and deep dives into aerospace technology, including the 2017 Grand Neal award for “Top Brand/Overall Editorial Excellence,” business-to-business journalism’s equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize.

UPS AND DOWNS: As the effects of the Pentagon’s newly unveiled budget plan continued to sink in, defense stocks gave back some of the big gains they made April 6. On April 7, shares in Northrop Grumman, Boeing and General Dynamics were each down 4 percent, while Raytheon and L-3 Communications declined 2 percent. Lockheed Martin bucked the trend, rising 1 percent to add to Monday’s gain of 9 percent. Defense services companies also took a hit on Tuesday, including SAIC and CACI (both down 4 percent), ManTech International (5 percent) and DynCorp (3 percent).
