Balentine will then serve in a part time role as an executive advisor to Toti. Balentine’s retirement comes after more than 20 years with the company. Balentine successfully grew the business unit from $25 million to nearly $500 million during his tenure.
“I want to thank Jimmie Balentine for his extraordinary efforts leading our Mission Support Services business segment. Jim has demonstrated outstanding leadership and built a world-class team,” said Brad Feldmann, president and chief operating officer of Cubic Corporation.
