Rear Admiral (Ret.) Mike Manazir Takes on a Key Role at Hadrian
Hadrian, a cutting-edge manufacturing company known for revolutionizing American industrial capabilities, recently announced that Rear Admiral (Ret.) Mike Manazir will be stepping into the position of Vice President of Federal Sales. This strategic move underscores Hadrian's commitment to strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base while leveraging innovative technology.
Mike Manazir's extensive background combines a rich history of military leadership with profound insights into the defense sector. A proud alumnus of the U.S. Naval Academy, he is distinguished not only as a seasoned naval aviator but also as a TOPGUN pilot, bringing with him a wealth of experience and expertise. Having enjoyed an illustrious 36-year career in the Navy, Manazir has held key leadership positions, commanding fighter squadrons, aircraft carriers, and a carrier strike group.
Prior to joining Hadrian, he served in prominent leadership roles at Boeing in Government Operations, Global Services, and Defense, Space, and Security, where he was instrumental in steering projects central to both government and military objectives. His previous experience is expected to greatly benefit Hadrian as he channels his military insight into federal sales strategies aimed at aligning the company's advanced manufacturing technologies with U.S. government programs.
The announcement was met with enthusiasm from Hadrian's Founder and CEO, Chris Power, who highlighted Manazir's unmatched leadership and operational experience as vital for the company’s mission. 'Mike's understanding of government operations and his decades of service make him the ideal candidate to lead our efforts in rebuilding the defense industrial base,' Power stated. 'We are thrilled to have him on board as we continue to scale our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the defense and aerospace industries.'
Excitement radiates from Manazir himself as he transitions to this new role, where he aims to strengthen national security while redefining the capabilities within aerospace and defense manufacturing. 'Joining Hadrian is a unique opportunity to work with a talented and passionate team to deliver innovative solutions that will strengthen our nation's defense capabilities,' he remarked. 'If we don't rapidly modernize the American manufacturing industry, we risk falling behind in producing critical defense systems.'
Currently based in Washington D.C., Manazir will not only spearhead sales strategies but also play a pivotal role in fostering collaboration between Hadrian's technology and federal programs, ensuring that American manufacturing remains globally competitive. The company's innovative approach includes the integration of robotics, AI, and machine learning to create highly automated factories designed to optimize efficiency and productivity.
