The NIOA Group has announced the appointment of United States-based executive Dan Olson to its Advisory Board, as a fulltime adviser focused on developing the company’s US strategy.
This appointment follows NIOA’s recent move into the US Army’s Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dan to our Advisory Board," said Rob Nioa, NIOA Group CEO.
"As a strategically oriented executive with a proven record of delivering a broad spectrum of advanced military systems, products and services, Dan brings a wealth of knowledge to our Advisory Board that will complement our ambitions at both Picatinny and Barrett as well as in Australia and New Zealand."
Dan’s leadership style and business acumen align with NIOA’s commitment to delivering outstanding results for our military and commercial customers around the world. We look forward to working with him."
Olson joins NIOA after a career spanning more than two decades with Northrop Grumman, most recently leading Northrop’s Advanced Weapons Campaign, an enterprise-wide strategy for next-generation weapon systems for the US and its allies.
He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business and Economics from Bethel University, Saint Paul, Minnesota and Juris Doctor from Mitchell Hamline Law School of Law in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
“I’m excited to be joining NIOA and look forward to collaborating with my fellow board members, the senior leadership group and the team here in the US,” said Olson.
“Throughout my career I have always endeavoured to deliver sustained growth through commitment to mission, values, investing in people and developing high-performing teams. This is a pivotal time for NIOA in its 50-year history and I am honoured to be appointed to the board to help the company on its growth trajectory.”
