Louis Freeh
Former Director of the FBI |
Thursday, March 12, 2009
8:45AM - 9:30AM
Louis Freeh was dubbed “the singularly best-suited person in America to run the FBI” by former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and “a law enforcement legend” by President Clinton, who appointed him director in 1993.
His compelling expertise and tireless approach to government security and counterterrorism issues facing today’s complex world have redefined conventional criminal investigative methods. Heralded for transforming the FBI from a national law-enforcement agency to a global-security institution, Freeh doubled the number of bureau branches worldwide. The FBI’s focus on counterintelligence, cyber crime, DNA technology and electronic surveillance expanded and put Freeh at the forefront of a global war on terror.
Freeh’s landmark investigations with high-profile cases will be the focus of his conversation with GovSec, and U.S. Law attendees. His presentation promises to deliver fascinating stories from the most secure depths of Washington and beyond. In addition, his experience as a lawyer and consultant to Fortune 500 companies around the globe enables Freeh to address data security, outsourcing, and loss prevention.
Arrangements for the appearance of Mr. Freeh made through Greater Talent Network, New York, NY.
