development, and financial management in the field of Information
Technology. He has held senior management positions with several of
the nation's leading corporations that specialize in providing
information and telecommunications management services to both
public and private sector customers. His strong background in
IT development and engineering gives him a unique perspective and
expert understanding of the challenges and requirements facing both
the telecom lifecycle management and identity management
marketplaces.
"I've had the unique opportunity to work hand in hand with
WidePoint's Board of Directors, management team, and front-line
staff," said Mr. Kang. "I am honored to have the opportunity
to now lead the WidePoint team as we focus on becoming extremely
efficient and highly competitive within the industries we

Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Mr.
Jason Holloway, to include the role
of Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company's
Cybersecurity Solutions subsidiary. Mr. Holloway's expanded
operational duties are a natural fit as his technical and
entrepreneurial background has been built on repositioning and
growing organizations over the past 25-plus years. Mr.
Holloway has a depth of knowledge gained from past experience in
senior executive management positions in a number of IT
organizations including serving as the CEO and co-founder of

WidePoint and the resilience of its employees and management team
as we have refocused our efforts at optimizing, growing, and laying
