James Adamson left Honeywell Technical Services as President along with the company's CEO on March 14, 2001 for Undisclosed Reasons after less than 18 months Tenure
editAccording to a Washington Post article dated March 14, 2001 about changes in key personal at Honeywell Technical Services, both President James Davidson and Chief Operating Officer Peter Dachel left the company on Monday, March 12, 2001 for undisclosed reasons.
Honeywell Technology Solutions of Columbia, a Honeywell International subsidiary that specializes in spaceflight and ground operations, announced that James C. Adamson, the company's president, and Peter Dachel, chief operating officer, left the company Monday for undisclosed reasons. Before joining Honeywell in 1999, Adamson, a former astronaut, was president and chief executive of Lockheed Engineering and Science. He helped lead the development of USA, a limited-liability company owned by Boeing and Lockheed Martin that was created to privatize and commercialize National Aeronautics and Space Administration manned-spaceflight operations. A "range of organizational options" will be considered in selecting a replacement for Dachel, said Honeywell spokesman Joseph Militano. Honeywell Technology Solutions employs about 500 in Columbia Gateway office park.[1]
According to an article in the Baltimore Sun dated September 21, 1999, Adamson was hired to be President of AlliedSignal Technical Services (later Honeywell Technical Services) to begin in October 1999[2]. Adamson's tenure as President at Honeywell Technical Serivces was as less than 18 months before he retired from Honeywell Technical Services at age 55.[3]
A former astronaut and space shuttle program executive has been named president of AlliedSignal Technical Services Corp. in Columbia, the company said yesterday. James C. Adamson will take over early next month at ATSC, which employs about 1,800 people in Maryland and oversees most spacecraft ground and flight control at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt.[4]
According to the article, Adamson replaced Ivan Stern who retired as President of Allied (later Honeywell) Technical Services in summer 1999.[5]
Adamson was the second former astronaut to work at AlledSignal Technical Services following Rick Hieb who went to work for the company as a senior engineering adviser in 1995[6] and was Vice President, Commercial Space of AlliedSignal Technical Services when he left in 1999.[7]
I am providing the information on the departure of Adamson and Dachel from Honeywell Technical Services on March 12, 2001 so others can decide if this information should be incorporated into the wikipedia article.
