Ross Guckert, former deputy Program Executive Officer for Soldier at the U.S. Army, has been appointed as the service branch’s new PEO for enterprise information systems, PEO EIS confirmed in a tweet on Friday.

Guckert will succeed Cherie Smith who will retire after more than four decades of service at the Army, according to a C4ISRnet report.

“Ross brings strong leadership and judgment, a keen understanding of our environment and challenges, and a commitment to the goal of modernizing the network, connecting our Army, and serving Soldiers,” said Smith said in a blog post dated May 5.
