Curtiss-Wright Corporation announced that Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer K. Christopher Farkas will retire effective at calendar year-end. Farkas has stepped down as CFO but will remain with the company as Executive Vice President until the retirement date to facilitate a seamless transition, while Gary Ogilby, Senior Vice President and Corporate Controller, will serve as interim CFO effective October 6, 2026, as the Board of Directors conducts a comprehensive search for a permanent successor. Farkas joined Curtiss-Wright in 2009 and had served as CFO since 2020, and the company said his decision is unrelated to its business or financial performance; it reports earnings on November 4, 2026. Ogilby, who joined Curtiss-Wright in 2010 and has been Vice President and Corporate Controller since 2020 and Senior Vice President since 2026, will continue in that role in addition to serving as interim CFO. Chair and Chief Executive Officer Lynn Bamford credited Farkas with helping drive strong financial performance and the company's Pivot to Growth strategy over his six years as CFO.
