Thompson, a Retired Brigadier General, Brings Strategic Leadership to the Employment Screening Company



PURCELLVILLE, VA (PRWEB) JUNE 28, 2016
Leading employment screening company, Proforma Screening Solutions, announces the appointment of retired Brigadier General Burt K. Thompson as president of the company. Proforma Screening Solutions offers comprehensive employment screening services to mitigate risk and inform better hiring decisions for today's human capital-driven organizations. Thompson will drive the company’s growth strategy and support the continued high level of service and support for existing customers.

Thompson is a graduate of the U.S. Army War College and held increasingly high-level operational and strategic planning positions during his thirty-year Army career, including battlefield command.

“Few industries understand the value of human capital better than the military. As employers turn to Proforma Screening Solutions to inform their hiring decisions, I look forward to helping these customers effectively apply background data through the lens of risk management, compliance, and organizational strategy,” Thompson remarks.

In his most recent Army positon, Thompson was Director of the Rebalance Task Force and Deputy Director for Strategy and Policy in the U.S. Pacific Command. In these roles, he was responsible for the strategic planning and policy efforts in support of the President’s rebalance toward the Asia Pacific. These efforts required allocation and prioritization of military resources, development of long range strategic plans, and maintaining relationships and a common vision of the future with thirty-four countries in the Indo-Asia-Pacific Region.

Mark Lowers, CEO of Lowers Risk Group, the parent company of Proforma Screening Solutions, remarks, “Burt brings top quality leadership to our firm, with a proven ability to define and execute strategically. He will help Proforma Screening grow and dominate in an increasingly important and complicated business.”
