McMillan to Drive Growth in Security and
Security Remediation Services for the Healthcare Industry
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN:CTEK), a leader in healthcare
cybersecurity and information management, today announced that its
Board of Directors has appointed Mac McMillan as CEO, effective
immediately. McMillan has served as the Company’s President and
Chief Strategy Officer and on the Company’s Board of Directors
since January 2017 and will continue to serve in this capacity. In
conjunction with this appointment, Joe Flynn resigned as CEO
effective October 2, 2017. He will step down from the Board of
Directors and has decided to pursue an opportunity as CEO of a
privately held business. Flynn will be working with McMillan and
the leadership team on this transition until October 31, 2017.
“Joe has done an exceptional job positioning this company for
long term success and we are deeply grateful for his contribution,”
said J.D. Abouchar, Chairman of the Board. “With Joe’s departure
and the Company’s strategic shift towards healthcare security in
the last few years, appointing a CEO with extensive industry
expertise was a logical step. We were fortunate to have someone of
Mac’s stature ready to step in and guide CynergisTek, bringing all
the tools necessary to successfully execute on our business
objectives going forward and I am excited to welcome him in this
new capacity.”
McMillan brings nearly 40 years of combined government and
private sector executive experience in cybersecurity and has worked
in the healthcare industry since his retirement from the federal
government in 2000. He is one of the Co-Founders of CynergisTek and
served as its CEO until acquisition by Auxilio, Inc, where he has
since served as the new company’s President and Chief Strategy
Officer.
McMillan is a thought leader in compliance, security, and
privacy issues in healthcare. In 2016, he was recognized by Health
Data Management as one of the Top 50 influencers in health IT. He
was recognized in Becker’s Hospital Review’s lists of influential
healthcare IT leaders by both its writers and readers in 2015, and
was named one of the top 10 health information security influencers
of 2013 by HealthInfoSecurity. He currently sits on the advisory
boards for CHIME’s Association of Executives in Healthcare
Information Security, HCPros Editorial Advisory Board, and
HealthInfoSecurity’s Editorial Advisory Board. He is a HIMSS
Fellow.
“I look forward to even more success with CynergisTek as we
continue to focus on executing our plan to grow our capabilities
and market reach,” said McMillan. “CynergisTek has an impressive
team of senior leaders and dedicated employees who want to deliver
the performance that our customers, partners, and shareholders
expect. We will continue to focus on company growth, capitalizing
on cross selling initiatives and expansion of our services and I
intend to keep our team highly focused on realizing this
potential."
McMillan served as the Senior Security Official for two separate
Defense Agencies, and sat on numerous interagency intelligence and
security countermeasures committees while serving in the U.S.
government. He holds a Master of Arts degree in National Security
and Strategic Studies from the U.S. Naval War College and a
Bachelor of Science degree in Education from Texas A&M
University. He is a graduate of the Senior Officials in National
Security program at the JF Kennedy School of Government at Harvard
University and a 1993/4 Excellence in Government Fellow.
Flynn added, “It is with great pride that I pass the torch to
Mac McMillan as he leads this company in the next chapter of its
corporate evolution and I move on to a new opportunity. We have
built an exceptional organization, one that will increasingly focus
on security going forward. Mac is well qualified to take this
company to the next level and I envision nothing but success for
him and the CynergisTek team going forward.”
