Edward Parkinson, former CEO of the First Responder Network Authority, has been appointed president of the public sector business at RapidSOS.

He will be responsible for driving RapidSOS’ emergency response data integration approach that involves collaboration with partners across the public safety communication and software sectors, the company said Wednesday.
