SITC - Security Innovation & Technology Consortium

SITC Non-Executive Director, Dave Mullin

David Mullin is Innovation Programmes Manager at Network Rail.  

He was formerly Head of Capability, National Security and Resilience for BAE Systems.  In this role he focused on the breadth and depth of partnerships (ranging from working with a number of VC backed SMEs to forming large scale strategic partnerships) and capability development activities essential for this market. 

Previously he has held a number of senior positions in the International Security market including: Business Development Executive for Homeland Security (leading a number of strategic campaigns including the BAE Systems consortium submission for the UK Identity and Passport Service (IPS) National Identity Scheme) and Head of Border Security for BAE Systems (exporting the company’s capabilities around the world).

Before this he spent 4 years working in the BAE Systems corporate research centre managing research into the domains of data and information systems culminating in the role of head of business planning within the research centre. This included winning and managing research and development work from MoD and DoD customers as well as a range of non military customers. A large number of these research programmes involved forming and working in large scale collaborations such as for EU Framework programmes and Defence Technology Centre programmes.  He also spent three years working as a manager in the retail sector for TESCO Plc.

David holds an MSc. in Physics from the University of Bristol.

SITC Board Re-Election Statement (March 2009)

I have broad experience in the market having performed R&D management, Strategy development and business winning roles in security and resilience. I now manage the BAE Systems Investment In Innovation fund which has already invested several million pounds into security SMEs and academia in its 8 months of operation.

I hope to continue to serve SITC by co-ordinating active engagement with, and investment into, the events, SIGs and members of SITC from across BAE Systems, and supporting Steve and his team in developing a sustainable growth in the services and offerings that SITC can provide to its members and offer to the wider security community.
