Janet recently served as an Advisory Board Member for Liquid Measurement Systems, providing guidance on governance, business growth, negotiation, and preparing the company for sale. During her tenure, the company successfully completed its acquisition in June 2026, ahead of its projected timeline. She has also served on the FeedMore Western New York Community Council, further expanding her governance experience while supporting organizations dedicated to strengthening their communities.

During her twenty-seven-year career at Moog, Inc., Janet held executive leadership roles spanning engineering, program management, enterprise negotiations, government contracting, business transformation, mergers and acquisitions, and full business ownership, culminating in Vice President positions leading two global businesses.

Most recently, Janet served as Vice President within Moog’s Defense Sector, headquartered in East Aurora, NY, where she held full profit and loss responsibility for a $350 million global business and led an international organization of more than 1,000 employees across facilities in the United States, Ireland, Germany, and Australia. She routinely presented business strategy, capital investment recommendations, portfolio reviews, and operating performance to Moog’s Board of Directors while guiding long-term investment decisions that strengthened profitability and positioned the business for sustained growth. During her tenure, she improved profitability within an already successful organization through disciplined operational execution, investment in next-generation technologies, and innovation. She established a new business within the Defense Sector focused on government sustainment for the evolving Department of Defense requirements.

Earlier, Janet served as Vice President of Moog’s global Power & Data Sector, headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia. The business included operations in the United States and the United Kingdom. One of Janet’s first priorities was to restructure the business portfolio by separating the Space and Defense businesses from the industrial organization, creating an independent business with a clear strategic focus and stronger alignment with customer and market needs.  Through implementation of an enterprise-wide 80/20 portfolio strategy, pricing optimization, and disciplined portfolio management, profitability increased by approximately three percent over three years. She also reorganized the global sales organization, generating more than $2 million in recurring annual savings while strengthening the company’s long-term competitive position.

Janet’s executive experience also includes leadership of Moog’s acquired rocket engine business and heritage satellite valve operations, where she directed a geographically diverse organization spanning the United States and the United Kingdom with full responsibility for a $75 million business. She successfully integrated newly acquired operations, strengthened organizational performance, improved operational efficiency, and unified teams across multiple locations and cultures. During this period, she secured United Kingdom government funding for critical rocket engine testing infrastructure that had originally been targeted for a competitor and directed the business analysis supporting the successful divestiture of Moog’s European Space business.

Recognized throughout her career for her commercial leadership and negotiation expertise, Janet served as leader of Moog’s Cost and Pricing organization and as Chief Negotiator on more than $1 billion in government and commercial agreements. She improved the Space and Defense Group’s cash flow performance to maintain a 100 percent positive average cash flow while developing Moog’s interest-based negotiation training program, personally teaching more than 500 employees representing 35 countries. Her expertise in collaborative, interest-based negotiations continue to distinguish her as a strategic business leader.

Janet also played a significant role in government relations and business development. She established and served as Moog’s Washington Operations representative in support of the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Program Office, working closely with government stakeholders to advance legislative initiatives and funding priorities. Her efforts contributed to the inclusion of key competitive language within the National Defense Authorization Act and helped secure $20 million in U.S. government funding supporting critical technology development and long-term business growth.

Earlier in her career, Janet established a strong technical foundation at Lockheed Martin Astro Space (formerly GE Aerospace), serving as a Lead Project and Test Engineer before expanding into subcontract management. That engineering background continues to influence her leadership style by enabling her to bridge highly technical challenges with sound business judgment, enterprise strategy, and disciplined execution.
