Triple Canopy Appoints Chris Sorenson as Chief Operating Officer
Special Operations Colonel Takes on Leadership Role with Mission Support Provider
RESTON, Va., Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Triple Canopy, Inc., a global provider of mission support, security and training services, today announced that Nils C. 'Chris' Sorenson will be taking over as chief operating officer from Harold Jay Arthur Christy Jr.
Sorenson recently retired as a Colonel with the U.S. Army, having achieved over 28 years of special operations and military service expertise. According to Triple Canopy CEO Ignacio Balderas, "I am very pleased to have Chris Sorenson take on this position with his exceptional leadership skills and stellar resume. Additionally, my sincere thanks go out to Jay Christy for his years of service to the company as he successfully completes his assignment as COO."
"I see my move to Triple Canopy as a continuation of service," Sorenson said. "I can't think of a better way to bridge a long military career than to contribute to our nation in a leadership role at a veteran-owned and veteran-friendly company, known for its legal, moral and ethical values."
Broadly experienced, Sorenson brings vision, strategic leadership and a track record of proven performance across a range of military assignments. He was the ground force commander for the first raid against the Taliban in Southern Afghanistan following 9/11, and most recently, was the inaugural commander of the 1-star led Military Information Support Operations Command.
