Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. has announced several changes to its board of directors, including the appointment of two new directors, former US Secretary of the Navy Raymond Mabus, Jr., and former global investment manager Diana Strandberg. Lovell has been appointed Chair of the Board of Directors, effective April 21. He has been an important member of the company's board for many years, and his experience with the Virgin Group will continue to be an asset going forward. Mabus brings extensive public sector experience to the role, having served as U.S. Secretary of the Navy from 2009 to 2017 and as the Governor of Mississippi. Strandberg retired from a distinguished career at global investment manager Dodge & Cox, most recently holding the role of Senior Vice President and Director, International Equity, and as an Executive Board Member. Michael Colglazier, Virgin Galactic's CEO said the newly appointed team members will greatly benefit the company "as we launch and grow our global commercial spaceline."
