Bruce Newell
President and CEO
Mantec
Bruce Newell has been president and CEO of Mantec since December 2020.
“My leadership style is collaborative and with an emphasis on team,” he explained. “I see my role as planting the flag of where we want to go, making sure that flag is in line with the mission and moves the organization forward, supporting team members with time and resources, and then get the heck out of their way! Mantec has an amazing team of smart, talented and driven individuals. The more of that collective horsepower that can be harnessed and focused, the better we perform.”
Newell grew up in a family machine shop, spending summers sweeping floors, cleaning parts, and eventually running computer numerical control machines. “After college, I worked for Deloitte and realized I missed the manufacturing environment,” he said. “I started an assembly business. Later that business spun off into another venture doing integrated work. Thirty years later, I was looking for a new challenge … and Mantec has provided that challenge.”
Outside of work, “I like to travel, hike, boat, scuba dive, snorkel, spearfish, snow ski, wakeboard, read, and spend time with friends and family,” Newell said. “As empty nesters, we’re traveling more to see kids and we’ve started to travel for unique events. This year we’ve gone to Tampa and Red Rocks to see concerts and Baton Rouge to see my Tennessee Volunteers play LSU.”
