Curtiss-Wright said Chief Financial Officer K. Christopher Farkas will retire at year-end after six years in the role and nearly two decades in the company’s finance organization.
Gary Ogilby, the company’s senior vice president and corporate controller, became interim CFO effective Oct. 6, 2026, while the board searches for a permanent replacement.
Farkas joined Curtiss-Wright in 2009 and became CFO in 2020. Before that, he served as vice president and corporate controller and vice president of finance.
Ogilby joined Curtiss-Wright in 2010, became vice president and corporate controller in 2020 and was promoted to senior vice president in 2026. He now oversees accounting operations, financial planning and analysis, financial reporting, internal controls and audit coordination, and leads the monthly and quarterly close.
Curtiss-Wright said the leadership change is unrelated to business or financial performance. The company is scheduled to report earnings on Nov. 4, 2026.
