Karen M. Davis, Mentor and Leader
Feb. 11, 2022 | By Denise R. Krepp, NHHC Director’s Action Group
Over the past 18 months, the Naval History and Heritage Command has highlighted female Navy trailblazers. We’ve shared their stories because the women are important members of the Navy family and they’ve served as valuable role models for the next generation of Navy civilians and Sailors. NHHC is committed to ensuring their stories are remembered and preserved.
Karen M. Davis is the executive director, Program Executive Office (PEO) for Aircraft Carriers. She’s responsible for the design, construction and delivery, and life-cycle support of all aircraft carriers and the integration of systems into aircraft carriers. She is also the first African American woman to serve in this position.

Bravo Zulu to CAPT Washington Johnson, CHC for his recent article “Perspectives on the African American Family”
The African American family must continue sharing its history regardless of its painful past in order to bring healing and closure, and to inspire future generations of families.
