CHANTILLY, Va.- OGSystems (OGS), a leader in technology innovation for the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC), today announced the appointment of Peter LaMontagne, former CEO of Novetta, to its Board of Directors effective immediately.
“We are very excited that Peter will be onboard to help with strategic investments, in both capabilities and acquisitions,” said Omar Balkissoon, OGSystems’ CEO and co-founder. “We also look forward to his role in advising on operational considerations and structure to absorb expansion in our personnel, customers, and infrastructure.”
