Liberty Defense Welcomes Virginia Buckingham as Advisor
Ms. Buckingham is recognized for her leadership including instituting a first-in-the-nation security initiative that became the model for current TSA programs following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
WILMINGTON, Mass., May 25, 2022 /CNW/ - Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCAN) (OTCQB: LDDFF) (FRANKFURT: LD2), leading technology provider of detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, is pleased to announce that it has added Virginia Buckingham to its board of advisors.
"Ms. Buckingham has an impressive track record of driving the successful deployment and adoption of new technologies focused on improving public safety, health, and peace of mind," said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. "Her expertise spans multiple key areas that are essential for the widespread deployment of Liberty's portfolio of technologies."
Ms. Buckingham previously served as vice president of corporate affairs for Pfizer, CEO of the Massachusetts Port Authority, held several prominent roles for two Massachusetts governors, and has also held other key executive positions.
The Massachusetts Port Authority operates three airports, the shipping and cruise terminals in the Port of Boston, and the Commonwealth Flats anchor development sites in Boston's Seaport District.
