Harris IT, L3 NSS Assume Leadership of GTSC Mentor Forum

Wayne Lucernoni, President, Harris IT and Les Rose, President of L3 National Security Solutions (NSS) assumed leadership of the Government Technology & Services Coalition’s Mentor Forum — a group of large companies devoted to the homeland and national security mission.  Harris was one of the founding mentors of the Coalition, and L3 NSS is both a founding member and was awarded GTSC Mentor of the Year in 2013.

“Harris immediately saw the value and need for an organization devoted to the mission of homeland and national security. With increasing budget challenges, rapid technological change and complex procurements, we want to help our Federal partners find ways to work smarter and better and to leverage the best technologies available to do that,” said Wayne Lucernoni, President, Harris IT.

“We are proud to work so closely with colleagues across the industry to grapple with difficult challenges in national security,” said Les Rose, President of L-3 National Security Solutions. “Supporting the growth of smaller companies is an important strategic step in preserving our industrial base,” Rose added. “Small businesses fuel the U.S. economy and help to bring innovation to the federal government and public sector.”

The GTSC Mentors are companies with over a billion dollars in annual revenue that work on behalf of the Federal homeland and national security mission. In GTSC, companies in the Mentor Forum collaborate to bring the innovation, ideas and agility of small business to the experience, infrastructure and resources of large companies, in addition to sharing the best practices of the private sector with our Federal partners.
