Michael Gass Statement Regarding His Retirement


Centennial, Colo., Aug. 12, 2014 – I have been honored to serve as the chief executive officer of United Launch Alliance (ULA) since its formation nearly eight years ago. With my intent to retire in the near term and the changing industry landscape over the next several years, the Board of Directors and I have agreed that the immediate appointment of my successor to begin the leadership transition is in the best interest of the company. I have known my successor, Tory Bruno, for many years.
