EOS announced the appointment of Shawn Baerlocher as CEO of EOS Defense Systems USA. Baerlocher will work with Christian Tobergte, Executive Vice President, Defence Systems (International). Baerlocher steps into the role following the recent retirement of Brigadier General (Retired) Philip Coker.
Baerlocher brings over 30 years of experience in leading multiple defense programs across the entire Department of Defense and other government agencies. Serving in several senior leadership roles at Northrop Grumman and L3Harris, his critical experience in program management and technology commercialisation will be essential to the continued growth at EOS.
Based in Huntsville, Alabama, Baerlocher’s primary focus will be on expanding EOS’ presence in the North American defence markets for Remote Weapon Systems and Counter-UAS systems, as well as enhancing the production capabilities of EOS to better serve both US and international customers.
“EOS wishes to acknowledge the significant impact and dedication Phil contributed to the company during his tenure with us over the past six years. His leadership has been pivotal to our success and growth in the US market. We are excited about the new perspectives and the continued innovation Shawn will bring to EOS,” says Andreas Schwer, Managing Director and Group CEO of EOS.
“I’m excited for this new opportunity to help US and international customers fill critical C-UAS capability gaps. With a long history of providing the US warfighter and allies with products that offer a tactical advantage on the modern battlefield, EOS’ commitment to innovation continues to grow. I look forward to developing and delivering the next generation of EOS’ capabilities to better serve the warfighter,” says Baerlocher.
