We do the right thing and keep our promises to one another
Once upon a time, in the bustling world of technology and defense, a visionary leader named Bradley H. Feldmann took the helm of Cubic Corporation. His journey began in July 2014, when he was appointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer, overseeing a sprawling enterprise that embraced three dynamic divisions: Cubic Transportation Systems, Cubic Global Defense, and Cubic Mission Solutions.
Under Mr. Feldmann’s watchful eye, Cubic was more than just a corporation; it was evolving into a hub of innovation and strategic foresight. His strategic vision was crystal clear: to foster an environment where creativity could blossom and ideas could flow freely. One of his signature initiatives, known as IdeaSpark, became the heartbeat of the company, creating a social ecosystem where employees could share their insights and suggestions. This transformative platform not only inspired new products but also enriched existing ones, addressing the ever-changing needs of customers with agility and precision.
Yet, innovation is not born in isolation. Mr. Feldmann spearheaded a monumental project known as the Global Enterprise Management (GEM) initiative, a vital transformation of Cubic’s IT infrastructure. Under his leadership, the organization embraced a scalable, efficient, and effective system, paving the way for the company’s future in an increasingly digital world.
Bradley’s journey to leadership was no accident; it was a culmination of years of dedication and experience. Before leading Cubic, he served as the President and Chief Operating Officer, honing his skills and understanding of the intricacies of the defense industry. His academic foundation was equally impressive, boasting a Master’s in Business Administration with honors from San Diego State University and a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering from the esteemed U.S. Air Force Academy. He was also a top graduate of the USAF Squadron Officer School, reflecting his commitment to excellence in every endeavor.
But Bradley’s contributions didn’t stop at Cubic. He became a committed advocate for the defense and aerospace industries, actively serving on various boards and committees, including the National Defense Industrial Association, where he chaired the finance committee. His influence extended to the Aerospace Industries Association, and he was also a fellow of the National Association of Corporate Directors.
Recognition soon followed his leadership. In 2017, he earned the title of “Most Admired CEO” by the San Diego Business Journal, a testament to his remarkable organizational leadership, while in 2018, he was honored as a “Director of the Year” for his contributions to corporate governance. His accolades continued with a Bronze Stevie Award for “Executive of the Year,” showcasing his impact on the business landscape.
As a testament to his commitment to innovation and community, Mr. Feldmann received the Duane Roth Distinguished Contribution Award for Technology in 2016 for his role in elevating San Diego as a global innovation hub. Every step of his journey has been marked by a steadfast dedication to fostering growth, creativity, and transformative change.
Through Bradley H. Feldmann’s leadership, Cubic Corporation not only embraced innovation but became a beacon of excellence, inspiring its employees and the industry at large to reach new heights.
