Fortem has also chosen Michael Buscher to serve as Executive Director of Enterprise Operations, who will be based out of the new D.C. office.

Buscher's primary responsibilities will include managing relationships with US government agencies, serving as the main point of contact for alliances in the national capital area, and managing continuing business development initiatives.
