Richmond, BC - December 15, 2011
Syscon Justice Systems, the world leader in offender management solutions, is pleased to announce that Steve Long has been promoted to the role of Chief Executive Officer. This decision was put forward and approved by the Board of Directors late last month. In addition to CEO, Dr. Long will continue to carry the title of President, a role he assumed in March of this year.
“We’re pleased with the performance of Steve and his team over the last three quarters,” said Frank Young, Chairman. “He has brought refreshing energy and experience to the executive function. His efforts have resulted in greater stability and predictability of our ongoing projects, stronger client relationships across the globe, and improved clarity and focus for a long-term business strategy for Syscon.”
“This appointment is certainly an honor, and it underscores Syscon’s commitment to long-term leadership in the offender management business,” said Long. “As we drive forward on multiple fronts, including on-time project delivery, new technology investment, and global market development, our clients and investors expect us to achieve those objectives while running a profitable and predictable business. Despite persistent economic challenges in various markets, we are confident of our ability to reach our five-year goals.”
Dr. Long has been with Syscon since 2007. Prior to his promotion to President, he was General Manager for the company’s EMEA region, based in London, and was instrumental in the success of Syscon’s nationwide project for Her Majesty’s Prison Service in England and Wales.
