"We need to tap into the expertise of the private sector as we shape the Transportation Security Administration, the first federal agency of the 21st century," said Secretary of Transportation Norman Y Mineta. "It is essential that the security systems of TSA effectively deter terrorism, but with minimal disruption to transportation and complete service to travelers and other users of transportation; and we're turning to the private sector to join us in this effort."
The executives will bring a wide range of private sector expertise in areas including procurement, recruiting, metrics and quality, operations and process modeling, training and development, organization design, and effectiveness. Each participant, appointed as an intermittent consultant in the federal government, will play a hands-on role in critical projects relating to their specific areas, but they will not be in decision-making or supervisory roles.
The initial executives in the Senior Advisor Program are: Chris Billings, Walt Disney World Co., Orlando, Fla.; Lisa Glatch, Fluor Corporation, Aliso Viejo, Calif.; Tom Kennedy, Solectron Corp., Milpitas, Calif.; Randal Null, Intel Corp., Santa Clara, Calif.; and Ben T Smith, A T Kearney Inc., Santa Clara, Calif.
