TSA'a soon-to-be-former CIO will lead PEC Solutions' civilian federal business.
Patrick Schambach, the departing chief information officer at the Transportation Security Administration, is joining technology services firm PEC Solutions Inc. in August as a general manager.
Schambach, who is ending a 32-year government career, said he would start his new job in charge of the company's civilian federal sector on Aug. 1 after taking a two-month cross-country vacation with his family.
PEC Solutions specializes in high-end e-government solutions.
"I was very selective on my job search, I cultivated a short list, and [PEC Solutions] were on my short list," Schambach said in a telephone interview.
Schambach said he made up a list of what he wanted in an employer and decided he would be more effective in a small company that "does work I like."
