The thesis

Why this org is unusual

The most distinctive feature of KBR’s structure is that the CFO transition is explicitly tied to the planned Mission Technology Solutions spin-off.

The CFO role moved from Mark Sopp to Shad Evans in January 2026, while Sopp shifted into a strategic transactions role focused on executing the separation.

  • No COO role
  • CFO transition aligned with spin-off execution
