Michael Brown has found a new job as a strategist

Former undersecretary of homeland security and director of FEMA, Michael Brown, has been chosen by OnScreen Technologies, Inc. to serve as the chief strategist for the public sector. OnScreen Technologies is a maker of compact displays for emergency first responders.

Brown was commissioned to build awareness and preference for OnScreen’s RediAlert Rapid Dispatch Emergency Sign, which is a portable LED amber sign intended to assist law enforcement agencies, first responders, critical infrastructure organizations and other governmental units to transmit important information to the public within minutes.

In a recent news release, OnScreen’s president and CEO Charlie Baker said, “Brown’s background and expertise of successfully handling four of the most severe hurricanes in Florida’s history, including more than 150 federally declared national disasters, combined with his clear understanding of the critical needs of first responders, makes him a perfect addition to the OnScreen strategic team.”

Brown, whose partnership with OnScreen began earlier this month, signed a 2-year contract which requires him to devote 50 percent to 75 percent of his time to strategizing about uses for the company’s products and potential customers.
