General Dynamics will install Amy Johnson as president of General Dynamics Information Technology on Tuesday, November 3. The company announced the appointment on October 23, with the change placing a long-serving General Dynamics executive at the helm of the technology services unit.

GDIT said Johnson is a 27-year veteran of General Dynamics Mission Systems. Her previous responsibilities included engineering, business leadership and management roles across cybersecurity, defense electronics, space and intelligence systems. She most recently served as vice president and general manager for Space, Cyber and Intelligence.

Why the appointment matters

Johnson succeeds the prior GDIT leadership after an interim period led by Paul Nedzbala, according to the company announcement. Her move keeps the unit's leadership within General Dynamics and brings technical and operational experience from another major business area into GDIT.

GDIT is part of General Dynamics' technology products and services portfolio. The company said it employed more than 120,000 people worldwide and generated 52.6 billion US dollars in revenue in 2025. Those figures provide scale for investors assessing the importance of the unit within the broader aerospace and defense group.
