STERLING, Va., Jan 24, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Fixmo Inc., the mobile risk management (MRM) company, today announced its new Board of Advisors. Charter members include Mr. Bob Gourley, CTO at Crucial Point LLC; Mr. Wilson “Bill” Livingood, a 33-year veteran of the United States Secret Service and Sergeant at Arms (Ret.) of the United States House of Representatives for the 104th Congress; and Rear Admiral Arthur Lawrence, Assistant Surgeon General (Ret.) who last served in his over 37 year career as Director, Office of Security and Strategic Information, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and previously served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health Operations.
MRM brings together Mobile Security, Mobile Device Management, Corporate Data Protection, Mobile Integrity Management and Compliance Assurance into a single holistic solution to help customers stay protected and compliant while adopting new mobile technologies and embracing the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend.
“Mr. Gourley has a deep knowledge of the enterprise IT market segment through his R&D and concept development experience as a researcher at CTO Labs and editor at CTOvision.com. Admiral Lawrence has incredible experience promoting and protecting the medical and health security of the Nation as part of the Commissioned Corps of the United States Public Health Service. Mr. Livingood’s experience with the House of Representatives, its members and Capitol Hill is uniquely impressive. These three luminaries come together from unique backgrounds to form the ideal team for our Board of Advisors to help us grow our business across Government and Enterprise markets around the world in 2012,” said Rick Segal, Founder and CEO of Fixmo.
In addition, last month the company appointed Lieutenant General Kenneth Minihan (USAF-Ret.)–a former director of the National Security Agency and the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Mr. Frank Meehan–founder of INQ Mobile and former board member of Spotify and SIRI–to its Board of Directors while announcing the completion of a $23M Series C investment funding round.
Minihan and Meehan joined existing board members Rick Segal (CEO, Fixmo), Paul Conley (Principal, Paladin Capital Group), Chris Albinson (Managing Director, Panorama Capital), Jeffrey Grammer (Partner, Rho Canada), John Stewart (VP and CSO, Cisco) and William Crowell (former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency).
