Mike Kushin, executive vice president and general manager of Information Warfare – High Consequence Missions at Parsons, was featured in the most recent Executive Spotlight interview with ExecutiveBiz on Friday. He talked about the transition from Blackhorse to Parsons, the establishment of its Information Warfare sector, recent contract award wins as well as the impact of electronic warfare and information operations on defense priorities.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Kushin discussing the new IW sector:
“Everything Parsons did on a big scale and everything Blackhorse did on a smaller scale could come together and ignite our joint growth… The new sector combines aspects of heritage Parsons, which operates in the electronic warfare and cybersecurity areas, and the acquired Blackhorse organization.
We now have a bigger organization within Parsons and can bring those capabilities together and really fight in a higher weight class to create growth opportunities – not only on the tail end of 2021 but also for the future.”
