Chris Pehrson previously spent 11 years at General Atomics' unmanned systems subsidiary.

Defense technology company Parry Labs said Monday it has hired a new chief growth officer in Chris Pehrson, formerly a lead executive at General Atomics’ unmanned systems subsidiary.

Pehrson will be responsible for leading Parry Labs’ functions related to strategic planning and business capture.
