Mr. Camillo is internationally recognized as a law enforcement and security professional, with exceptional expertise in the area of emergency preparedness operations.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090714/LA45941LOGO) Mr. Camillo began his career in law enforcement as a Special Agent in the U.S. Secret Service where he completed a distinguished 21-year career that included three separate assignments at the White House. Specialized assignments required protecting four U.S. Presidents and family members in various capacities and ultimately serving as head of the White House Security Branch, which encompassed the supervision of daily security, emergency preparedness and all-hazards operations at the White House Complex. Following his final White House tour of duty, Mr. Camillo was appointed to the position of Secret Service Deputy Assistant Director, detailed to the headquarters of the newly created Department of Homeland Security. He continued working in critical assignments until his return to Secret Service headquarters where he was appointed the Chief Technology Officer for the agency. Mr. Camillo has held several key positions during his career in major event planning, most notably being appointed as the Olympic Coordinator for the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics. Under his direction, the Secret Service executed its mission through Presidential Executive Order to design, plan and implement the Federal operational security plan for the Games. The successful execution of this carefully designed preparedness and prevention plan was later identified by the White House Office of Homeland Security as an excellent model for future security designs at Events of National Significance. Mr. Camillo also serves as an appointed member of the American Society of Industrial Security's Global Terrorism Council, is an active member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and is Chair of the Board of Trustees for the Academy for Venue Safety & Security, conducted annually by the International Association of Assembly Managers.
