Kathy Warden, president and CEO of Northrop Grumman, isn’t just heading up one of the country’s leading defense firms, she’s also helping people through her work at several different humanitarian organizations addressing issues like women’s success in the workplace and mentoring support for future business talent.
Within Northrop, she’s provided employees with opportunities to learn new skills to help them not only with their careers but just their lives in general, something she thinks of as a corporate responsibility because it helps create a never-ending stream of motivated, skilled workers.
She’s involved with Catalyst, a nonprofit that promotes female success in the workplace. Her efforts here garnered her the title of “Changemaker” by CNBC. She also supports the students of James Madison University by donating to scholarship matching programs that have funded scholarships for over 125 students.
