Admiral Thomas B. Fargo, USN (Ret.), Joins AtHoc's Board of Directors
SAN MATEO, CA, May 27, 2009 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
AtHoc, Inc., the pioneer and leader in network-centric emergency
notification systems, today announced the appointment of Admiral
Thomas B. Fargo, USN (Ret.), former Commander of the U.S. Pacific
Command, to the company's board of directors.
Admiral Fargo has been part of the AtHoc team since late 2007,
serving as a member of the company's strategic advisory board. With
the appointment to the AtHoc board of directors, Admiral Fargo
broadens his role by working with the AtHoc executive team and fellow
board members to help set the company's business strategy.
"After serving as an AtHoc advisor for nearly two years, I welcome
the opportunity to extend my role and work with the AtHoc board to
help align the company with the military's evolving and expanding
needs for emergency notification capabilities," said Admiral Fargo.
"As a past naval commander, I have a vested interest in helping my
former colleagues prepare for critical missions and emergency
operations. I look forward to serving on the AtHoc board and helping
address current Department of Defense, government agency and first
responder community needs while also adding value for AtHoc."
As the former senior U.S. military commander in East Asia, the
Pacific and Indian Ocean, Admiral Fargo led the largest unified
command while directing the joint operations of the Army, Navy,
Marine Corps and Air Force. He will offer valuable insight across the
entire range of AtHoc's business opportunities.
Admiral Fargo retired from the military on March 28, 2005, after a
distinguished career serving the U.S. Navy and the Department of
Defense. He was the 20th officer to hold the position of Commander of
the U.S. Pacific Command. He was responsible to the President and the
Secretary of Defense and was the U.S. military representative for
collective defense arrangements in the Pacific.
"It's an honor to welcome a leader of the caliber of Admiral Fargo to
our board," said Guy Miasnik, president and CEO of AtHoc. "Admiral
Fargo's background and expertise in defense and homeland security will
further strengthen our market position and our ability to continue our
significant growth momentum while assuring in-depth understanding of
the requirements of this market."
