CEO Monthly Issue 3 2018

CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 3 2018 5 , Coalfire is the cy- bersecurity advisor that helps private and public-sector organisations avert threats, close gaps and effective- ly manage risk. By providing inde- pendent and tailored advice, as- sessments, technical testing and cyber engineering services, we help clients develop scalable pro- grams that improve their security posture, achieve their business objectives, and fuel their contin- ued success. On the 21st March 2018, Coal- fire announced that the board of directors has appointed Tom McAndrew to the position of CEO, effective April 1, 2018. McAn- drew succeeds Larry Jones, who served as Chairman since 2012 and CEO since 2015. Jones has elected to step down from the full- time CEO commitment; he will re- main an advisor to McAndrew and Coalfire throughout the remainder of 2018, and will continue to serve on Coalfire’s board of directors. McAndrew has held key lead- ership roles at Coalfire since he joined the company in 2006, most recently as chief operating officer. His experience leading teams in Sales, Service Delivery and Tech- nical Testing, as well as providing general oversight on operations, including financial, human re- sources and marketing initiatives, position him to be a highly effec- tive CEO in further expanding Coalfire’s market leadership in cyber security and risk advisory services. McAndrew will focus his teams on developing trusted partnerships with both commercial and feder- al customers and continuing to be cybersecurity thought leaders for our clients as they increas- ingly leverage the cloud, smart systems, and other technologies to transform their businesses. McAndrew will also continue to evaluate and pursue both organic and inorganic growth opportuni- ties. “I want to sincerely thank Larry Jones for his many years of lead- ership, his tireless dedication to Coalfire’s customers and his suc- cess in laying the foundation for the company’s continued growth,” said McAndrew. “I’m excited to take Coalfire to the next level and will continue to build on our pos- itive growth, propelling the busi- ness to a higher level of market awareness and leadership in cy- bersecurity.” “I’m very pleased with Coalfire’s current market position, our grow- ing leadership in the cybersecu- rity industry and the customer confidence we’ve achieved,” said Jones. “Tom McAndrew’s broad knowledge base, expertise and deep familiarity with Coalfire’s people, customers and business position him perfectly to take the reins. I have every confidence that he will continue our positive momentum.” GTL leads the fields of correctional tech- nology, education, and government pay- ment services with vi- sionary solutions and customised products that integrate seamlessly to deliver security, financial value, and operational efficiencies while aiding inmate rehabilitation and reducing recidivism rates. On the 21st March 2018, GTL announced that Deb Alderson has been named as Chief Exec- utive Officer of GTL, joining the company on April 2nd. Alderson brings a history of past success and leadership to the company, most recently as CEO of Sotera Defense Solutions, which was acquired by KeyW Corporation in March 2017. Deb has spent the majority of her career in gov- ernment services. In addition to Sotera, she served in leadership roles with SRA International, SAIC, and Anteon. Among other accolades, she earned a “Fed 100” award from Federal Computer Week as a leader who affects change, progress, and efficiency in determining how the federal government acquires, de- velops, and manages information technology. “Deb is the right person to lead GTL and continue the compa- ny’s technology leadership,” said Michael Sand, GTL Board Chairman. “She has a passion for improving the corrections en- vironment through GTL products, and her strong experience lead- ing sales and service organisa- tions will benefit our customers, inmates, and GTL employees. We are confident that Deb will elevate our already-strong Coalfire Appoints New CEO Tom McAndrew leadership team and will be a highly-capable successor to Bri- an Oliver, the company’s retiring CEO. We greatly appreciate Brian’s leadership of GTL during a time of tremendous growth and transformation, as well as his assistance in executing a smooth transition of leadership. Also, we look forward to continuing to work with him in his new capacity as an advisor to the company.” Alderson brings a proven history of integrating acquired compa- nies to drive business success to GTL, following a period when the company has executed a number of strategic moves to bolster its technology leadership position in the corrections industry. GTL acquired San Francisco-based Telmate in August 2017, which strengthened the company’s position as a provider of wire- less tablets to the corrections market. GTL also acquired Nashville-based IDS in January 2017, which added education professionals and content to help prepare inmates for re-entry and reduce recidivism. “I am excited to be joining GTL and leading the company during a period of tremendous oppor- tunity,” said Alderson. “GTL’s products play a critical role in facilitating inmates’ connection to friends and family. I am excited about the opportunity for GTL products to continue to enhance communication, increase facility safety, and provide education opportunities to inmates. We will work to deliver these benefits to our corrections customers, while also improving the rehabilitation and re-entry of those who are incarcerated.” Former Sotera CEO’s history of leading successful companies will bolster GTL’s technology leadership and growth.
