Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Jacksonville welcomed aboard new Executive Director Kevin Mooney, July 25.

Mooney is the third person to hold the executive director position since the position was created in 2000.

As NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville's executive director, Mooney is the senior civilian adviser to the commanding officer, responsible for strategic planning, organizational resource performance, and business growth.

Mooney comes to NAVSUP FLC Jacksonville from the Southeast Regional Maintenance Center at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, where he served as corporate operations officer, but he is not new to being an executive director.

"I'm looking forward to the turnover and I'm happy to be back with the Supply community," said Mooney. "That's where my Navy roots began."

Mooney has a Master of Management from Naval Post-Graduate School and a bachelor's degree in economics from Saint Edwards University in Austin, Texas.
