The Rebovich Institute for New Jersey Politics will host Chairman and CEO of Motorola Solutions, Inc. Greg Brown on Tuesday, April 10, at Rider University.
Brown's talk, "Securing the homeland, foundational for successful foreign policy," will focus on how leadership and culture change serve as anchors to influence policy for homeland security. The opening reception begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Bart Luedeke Center with the program and Q&A session starting at 7 p.m.
"Greg Brown has a unique perspective on homeland security because of his leadership of Motorola Solutions," says Jim Castagnera, Rider's associate provost and acting director of the Rebovich Institute. "Motorola Solutions offers a wide range of products and services that assist local law enforcement and government agencies with their security needs.”
Brown has led Motorola Solutions for more than a decade. Under Brown's tenure, the company's shareholder return has exceeded 250 percent, significantly outpacing the market. Motorola Solutions is the worldwide leader in mission-critical communications for public safety and commercial enterprises. The company creates innovative solutions and services that help global public safety customers build safer cities and thriving communities.
