MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — BAE Systems today announced the promotion of Mark Signorelli to vice president of Army Programs at the company’s Armament Systems division headquarters in Minneapolis. Prior to his new role, Signorelli served as director of Manned Ground Vehicles for BAE Systems.

As vice president of Army Programs, Signorelli will oversee a team of more than 400 engineers and program staff located in Minneapolis and Elgin, Oklahoma, and he will focus his efforts on strengthening core customer relationships and growing future business opportunities. In addition, Signorelli will continue to manage the development of major weapons programs for the U.S. Army and Department of Defense, including BAE Systems’ multi-billion dollar contract to develop high-tech, manned ground vehicles for the Army’s Future Combat Systems (FCS) program.

"For more than a decade, Mark has led teams at BAE Systems that continually raise the bar on defense contracting performance and achievement,” said Dennis Morris, president of BAE Systems’ Armament Systems division. “Mark’s proven leadership, combined with his experience as an artilleryman in the Army, will be invaluable as we continue to expand our partnerships with the Army and meet the needs of our men and women in uniform.”

In his previous role as director of Manned Ground Vehicles, he directed a team of more than 900 people across the country that successfully designed and built the first manned ground vehicle prototype for the FCS program – the Army’s premier equipment modernization effort. In his new role, he’ll continue to expand our partnerships with the Army and meet the needs of our men and women in uniform.

Signorelli joined BAE Systems in 1997 after 21 years as a field artillery officer with the Army where he retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He is a veteran of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Throughout his military career he served in a variety of artillery leadership and command positions, including an assignment as Assistant Deputy Director for Operations in the National Military Command Center.
