Implant Sciences Adds Former TSA Senior Executive Mo McGowan as Advisor
Company Retains Command Consulting Group to Provide Support on Homeland Defense, Military, and Federal Government Procurement
WILMINGTON, MA–(Marketwire -06/20/12)- Implant Sciences Corporation (IMSC) (IMSC), a high technology supplier of systems and sensors for homeland security and defense markets, today announced that United States Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) veteran Mo McGowan has been retained as an advisor to the Company through a contract with international security and intelligence consulting firm, Command Consulting Group. Mr. McGowan will provide national security expertise to advance Implant Sciences and its explosives and drugs trace detectors in the United States market. He will focus on three main segments — military, homeland defense and security, and federal government security screening.
Mr. McGowan spent seven years at the TSA and was recognized as one of the founders of the organization. His career at the TSA culminated in being appointed Assistant Administrator for the Office of Security Operations, where he managed security operations. He was responsible for the largest non-military workforce in the U.S. government, with 53,000 personnel. His operational responsibilities included the screening of 2 million commercial air passengers per day and managing a budget in excess of $3.7 billion. Mr. McGowan was instrumental in transforming the culture and security posture of TSA’s uniformed workforce. While at TSA, he also served as Deputy Assistant Administrator for Operations and General Manager for Cargo and Supply Chain Security. Prior to his TSA experience, Mr. McGowan was a Manager for the Systems Integrity Group of MCI and retired from the command level with the Richardson, Texas Police Department. He is currently a partner at Command Consulting Group.
Command Consulting Group works with a broad spectrum of clients to develop customized products and services, understand the needs of government and industry security consumers, and execute go-to-market strategies in the United States and around the world. CCG’s team of operational security experts is comprised of professionals who managed and led the organizations that make up much of the current security architecture in the United States Government.
“Implant Sciences’ products are an important part of the answer to numerous security challenges facing the United States. The ability to rapidly deploy systems in response to a security need provides opportunities both in homeland security and for our troops abroad,” stated Mo McGowan. “I’m looking forward to helping the Company get its innovative technology into the hands of key frontline security operators.”
“Mo McGowan is one of the chief architects of the TSA. He’s intimately aware of the challenges the organization faces in securing our borders and the technologies required to do the job. We are very pleased to welcome him as an advisor,” added Implant Sciences’ President and CEO, Glenn D. Bolduc.
