Hadron Energy named Ken Canavan as its chief operating officer and Rahul Shukla as its finance chief.
The new appointments aim to strengthen the company's leadership as it works to commercialize its Halo micro modular reactor, and as it prepares to go public through a $1.2 billion business combination with blank-check company GigCapital7, it said Thursday.
Canavan most recently served as chief executive of E4 Carolinas. He has nearly four decades of experience across nuclear operations, advanced reactor development, global research and development, and enterprise transformation, according to Hadron.
In his role as COO, Canavan will oversee areas including program management, manufacturing strategy and supply-chain readiness.
Shukla most recently served as chief accounting officer at Stem, and he previously held senior finance leadership roles at Natera and eHealth. As finance chief, he will oversee financial strategy, capital markets readiness, reporting for the Securities and Exchange Commission, internal controls and financial infrastructure, Hadron said.
