Redwire has recently experienced a notable executive change with the appointment of Mike Gold as the President of its Civil and International Space business, aiming to broaden its global footprint. Despite this significant leadership shift, Redwire's stock fell by 17% over the last week, amid broader market downturns driven by President Trump's tariffs on U.S. trade partners that have affected tech and retail sectors heavily. While Redwire doesn’t operate primarily in affected industries, the overarching negative market sentiment has likely impacted its shares, contributing to the decline seen alongside a 5% drop in discretionary and tech shares.
