For the past year-and-a-half, the Sun Federal board of directors has been a major priority for me. I want to provide our company with a vast array of resources that will allow us to better understand and serve our government customers. It has been very important to select board members who offer a wide range of experiences in the both the private and public sectors.
It is my pleasure to add another high-powered acquisition to our board of directors – Mr. Arthur L. Money. It would be much easier for me to tell you what Art hasn’t done, as his list of accomplishments is nearly unparalleled in the government IT community. Art brings more than 45 years of public and private IT leadership to our board. He has a distinguished 20+ year career at TRW and currently is the president of ALM Consulting. Plus, Art has held several Senate appointed positions including serving as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence as well as the Chief Information Officer of the DoD.
I am really looking forward to having Art as an active member of the Sun Federal board. When I worked in the CIO office in the Pentagon, he was a great leader, that moved the DoD and Intelligences IT environments forward. We worked closely to set up the CIO council, complete the Y2K program, improve software quality, secure the Pentagon's networks, and he was always supportive of other progressive initiatives. In addition, Anthony Robbins worked with Art at SGI, since he was on the board there when Anthony was head of their Federal business unit. One of the reasons I believe that Anthony and I both tend to view the Federal market and customers in similar ways is due to how we were influenced by great leaders like Art. We have no doubt that Art will be an active member of our board, helping to ensure that Sun’s roster of open software and hardware solutions maximize the return on investment for our government clients.
