BigBear.ai Director Kirk Konert Resigns From Board of Directors

BigBear.ai director Kirk Konert has resigned from the company's board of directors, effective September 15, 2026. This departure changes the firm's governance structure, as Konert previously served as the chair of the company's compensation committee.

According to an SEC filing regarding the transition, BigBear.ai confirmed that Konert’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the company regarding its operations, policies, or practices.

Role and Governance Impact

As the chair of the compensation committee, Konert oversaw executive pay structures and incentive programs for the AI-focused firm. His departure requires the board to appoint a successor to lead this committee, which is responsible for aligning executive compensation with the company’s performance goals and long-term shareholder interests.

Market Context

BigBear.ai (BBAI) shares have faced volatility in recent sessions. As of September 18, 2026, the stock was trading at $2.80, reflecting a decline of 1.41%.

This board change follows a period of organizational focus for the company, which specializes in AI-powered decision intelligence. The firm's 2024 proxy statement previously outlined the committee's mandate to maintain compensation packages to attract and retain technical talent in a specialized sector.
