LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LinQuest Corporation (“LinQuest” or “the Company”), a national security space technology leader, today announced the appointment of Greg Young as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Young, who joined the Company in 2010, has served as LinQuest’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer since 2019.
