Last week we heard from Carlo Zaffanella, the vice president and general manager of Maritime and Strategic Systems (M&SS) for General Dynamics (GD) Mission Systems in Pittsfield. He leads a diverse array of programs serving the US Navy, the US Air Force, restricted customers, TSA, various government labs and a variety of international and commercial customers. The M&SS business includes submarine and surface ship electronic systems integration as well as the design, build and support of a broad array of subsurface, surface, air, airport and strategic subsystems. GD is Berkshire County’s 2nd largest employer (behind Berkshire Health Systems), and Carlo spoke about the impact the pandemic has had on their operations – creating a choice for employees to work in house, from home, or some hybrid.
