In a statement, Febbroriello also highlighted Kilrain’s “expertise in geopolitical security affairs amongst the great powers” and his global operational experience. He said that ACC’s “fundamental long-term acquisitive growth strategy prudently leverages our reputation for attracting world-class talent like Colin; and disruptive technology partners like SEADAR.”
“I cannot overstate the strategic value that Colin’s contributions will bring to ACC and our existing client base,” Febbroriello added.
