CAPT James M. Fordice, USN (Ret) Joins Referentia Systems
Former USPACOM Chief of IT Strategy and Integration will relocate to New Mexico
HONOLULU, HI – December 12th, 2005 – Referentia Systems announced today that CAPT James M. Fordice, USN (Ret) has joined the company as a Senior Program Manager. CAPT Fordice recently retired as the Chief of IT Strategy and Integration at the United States Pacific Command, Camp H.M. Smith, HI, capping a Navy career of more than 27 years that began with assignments as a Submarine Officer and NROTC Instructor, and led to increasingly challenging and significant responsibilities as a Chief Technical Officer and ultimately Director of Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence Systems for the United States Pacific Fleet.
Captain Fordice will be leading Referentia’s expansion into New Mexico and the Southwestern US, where Referentia’s applied research and advanced computing capabilities can be leveraged through partnerships with federal agencies and National Laboratories such as those at Kirtland AFB, White Sands, Los Alamos, and Sandia.
“Captain Fordice brings an incredible depth of knowledge and experience,” said Referentia President & CEO Nelson Kanemoto. “At Referentia we’re very focused on developing innovative solutions that address real world operational needs. Captain Fordice understands the needs of our DoD customers and has a demonstrated ability to lead large-scale efforts that bring about meaningful improvements to benefit the warfighter.”
Captain Fordice will work closely with Referentia’s Honolulu headquarters to ensure that PACOM needs are addressed as well as the requirements of other combatant commands and joint agencies.
“I’d been looking to get involved with a high-quality technology firm,” said Captain Fordice. “Referentia’s built a strong reputation for technical excellence and reliability, and this opportunity allows me to help expand Referentia’s presence in the Southwest while remaining closely involved with PACOM technology projects. It’s the best of both worlds.”
