Former Under Secretary of Navy to Speak

22 April, 2002

Arlington, VA - The former Undersecretary of the Navy and current Dean of the Wesley J. Howe School of Technology Management at the Stevens Institute of Technology, Mr. Jerry Hultin, will speak on "Military Transformation and Business Reform: Seven 'Easy' Steps for Success" as part of the Potomac Institute's Executive Lecture Series. The luncheon is set for May 7, 2002, from 11:30AM to 1 PM at the Potomac Institute in Arlington, Virginia.

Prior to his appointment at Stevens Institute, Mr. Hultin served the nation as Under Secretary of the Navy in the Clinton Administration. A former Naval Officer, Hultin also led an extensive study of the impact of globalization on national security and Naval forces. This program included an evaluation of how major advances in communications and computing technologies, along with the rise of the global corporation, is changing the nature of the global economy and national defense. His "Revolution in Business Affairs" initiatives broke new ground and are expected to serve as platforms for conducting both day-to-day and strategic business affairs within the Department of the Navy in the first decade of the 21st century.

Before entering government service, Mr. Hultin spent more than 25 years in the private sector. His work included a law practice and work as a consultant in areas involving technology, health care, and the environment. He was chief consultant to the CEO of Sallie Mae, the nation's largest secondary market for student loans, and the manager of two businesses that developed, manufactured, and marketed hydraulic systems throughout the United States and Canada.

Mr. Hultin received his Juris Doctor degree from Yale University Law School in 1972. He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in political science, history, and economics from The Ohio State University in 1964.
