- Aegis Technologies, Inc., a leader in cyber security systems for utilities and other infrastructure industries, announced today it appointed Larry B. Hagewood as president and chief executive officer.
Mr. Hagewood's career spans more than 25 years in software and systems, including significant experience serving utilities and other industrial infrastructure businesses. Most recently, he was president and chief executive
officer of SPL WorldGroup, a software company focused on specific areas of global utility operations.
Joining SPL in September 2005, Mr. Hagewood more than doubled its revenues to over $200 million. In October 2007, Oracle Corporation acquired SPL, and he remained with Oracle as a senior vice president until earlier this year, supervising SPL's post-acquisition activities to ensure a smooth transition. In his new assignment, Mr. Hagewood succeeds Robert T. Sill who founded the company in 2002, and will continue as a valued member of the Aegis Board of Directors.
"Larry Hagewood's track record with the technology and markets important to Aegis' business make him particularly well suited to move the company to the next level of achievement," said John Finn senior member of the Aegis Board.
Mr. Hagewood added, "This is vital work that will help our country protect its critical infrastructure from cyber destruction. Working with and expanding our experienced technical and management team, I'm confident Aegis' offerings in technology and know-how will enable us to become a significant provider of cyber security products and services to utilities. We are committed to doing so in collaborative ways that help our customers cope with the changing regulatory landscape and NERC compliance, while protecting them and their customers from the cyber threats that are of growing industrial and public concern."
