Redwire Corp Reports Board Resignations; Appoints Two Presidents
What Happened
- Redwire Corporation filed an 8-K (dated Feb 17, 2026) announcing director changes and executive appointments. Raphael “Ray” Thomas Wallander resigned from the Board effective Feb 11, 2026. David Kornblatt notified the Board on Feb 12, 2026 that his previously announced resignation will be effective March 3, 2026. The filing states neither resignation resulted from any disagreement with the company’s operations, policies or practices.
- On Feb 12, 2026 the Board also appointed Mike Gold as President, Space and Steve Adlich as President, Defense Tech, each effective immediately.
Key Details
- Raphael “Ray” Wallander resigned effective Feb 11, 2026; he had been appointed to the Board in July 2025 as a Bain designee.
- David Kornblatt’s resignation will be effective March 3, 2026; he informed the Board on Feb 12, 2026.
- The Board plans to appoint a new Chair and new members of the Audit Committee and the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee in connection with Kornblatt’s departure.
- The Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee is evaluating candidates to fill Board vacancies.
Why It Matters
- Board composition and committee assignments affect corporate governance oversight (audit, nominations). Investors should note upcoming changes to the Chair and key committee memberships.
- The simultaneous appointment of presidents for Space and Defense Tech signals ongoing executive alignment of Redwire’s business units; these are operational leadership changes rather than CEO/CFO replacements.
- The filing explicitly states the resignations were not due to disagreements with the company, which limits governance-risk signals tied to the departures.
