James Geurts, former acquisition chief of the U.S. Navy and a previous Wash100 awardee, and 35-year Air Force veteran Joseph Reynes, Jr. have been named advisory board members of technology company Epirus.
They joined the board as Epirus aims to introduce technologies designed to help public and private sector clients to defend against electronic and unmanned aerial system threats, the company said Wednesday.
Geurts, who has more than three decades of national security experience, served as assistant secretary of the research, development and acquisition at the Navy from 2017 to 2021, and also performed the duties of the service branch’s undersecretary.
As acting undersecretary, he oversaw the global business operations of both the Navy and Marine Corps.
Reynes was the deputy chief of operations for NATO Joint Forces Command Brunssum in the Netherlands before his retirement from USAF in 2013.
The retired major general is CEO of Alpha Check and previously spent four years at USAA as vice president of staff operations.
