My Take
Marillyn Hewson commands a kind of respect I rarely feel for figures outside entertainment. Leading Lockheed Martin as chairman, president and CEO from 2013 to 2020 meant steering one of the world's largest defense companies, a role of staggering scale and consequence. Rising from Junction City, Kansas, and the University of Alabama to the summit of an overwhelmingly male industry took grit I can only imagine. She isn't a flashy celebrity, but carrying tens of thousands of employees and nation-level programs is its own form of greatness. To me, she embodies someone who pried open the door on merit alone, and that earns my quiet admiration.
