In his new DCOS SOE role, Mulbah will lead in engaging strategic stakeholders as well as coordinating organizational support for our activities. We believe Mulbah will do well in this new role as he takes on the challenge of attending law school. We will also be adding other deputies for specific roles, in the near future.
