As announced in May, NEC Corporation of America recently launched NEC National Security Systems (NSS), a Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI)-mitigated subsidiary under an anticipated Special Security Agreement (SSA) with the U.S. Government that will allow us to provide world-class, advanced technology to the federal government.
Backed in part by NEC Corporation’s 122-year heritage and history of innovation and $1 billion in research and development, the new company’s mission is to deploy groundbreaking, end-to-end systems for access control and security, identify verification, scene processing, advanced analytics and intrusion detection.
Today, I am pleased to share that Dr. Kathleen L. Kiernan will be joining NEC NSS as Interim President on July 1. As a 29-year veteran of Federal Law Enforcement and one of the country’s foremost experts in threat detection, Dr. Kiernan will play a fundamental role in helping to lead NEC NSS into the next phase of development. Her extensive government experience and many accomplishments, coupled with her expertise in ID management and biometrics, make her an incredible asset to the future of NSS.
Currently, Dr. Kiernan is the CEO and founder of Kiernan Group Holdings (KGH), a women-owned global consulting firm specializing in intelligence, law enforcement and national security. She is a recognized expert in strategic thinking, strategy development, and facilitating critical incident management exercises for senior leaders across government and private sector organizations. She brings to NEC deep expertise in understanding the needs of federal governments and private sector organizations and creating common-sense approaches to society’s most complex problems.
On behalf of all NEC, I’d like to welcome Dr. Kiernan to NEC NSS! Under her leadership, paired with our distinguished Board of Directors and talented staff, the future looks bright for NEC NSS.
