James Wallace, formerly executive director and general counsel at an RTX (NYSE: RTX) unit, has been named chief legal officer and general counsel at Forcepoint Global Governments and Critical Infrastructure, now part of TPG (Nasdaq: TPG), according to a LinkedIn post.

He will oversee Forcepoint G2CI’s overall legal, governance and compliance functions.
