Former Defense Secretary James Mattis was elected to the board of directors of the defense contracting giant General Dynamics on Wednesday, the company said.
"Jim is a thoughtful, deliberate and principled leader with a proven track record of selfless service to our nation," said Phebe Novakovic, the company's CEO, in a statement. "We are honored to have him on our board."
Secretary of Defense James Mattis testifies during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense hearing to review the FY2019 budget request for the U.S. Dept. of Defense on Capitol Hill on May 9, 2018 in Washington, DC.
Mattis, a revered Marine with a military career spanning four decades, left the Trump administration in a. The 68-year-old retired Marine Corps general, widely viewed as a stabilizing influence within an often chaotic White House, wrote in his resignation letter that Trump had "right to have a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours."
