MilDef now accelerates US ambitions by consolidating MilDef Inc. and recently acquired Handheld operations, under one strong and focused unit. By doing so MilDef's total US footprint is doubled, and the product offering is substantially widened for increased reach into the military, government as well as the critical infrastructure domains. Jim Rimay, CEO Handheld US Inc, will take on the leadership of all MilDef's activities in the US, starting in July 2023.

Jim Rimay has been the CEO of Handheld's operations in the US since 2015 and has a solid background in the defense-related IT industry, including as President of Getac in the US. The consolidated approach means that MilDef increases its business focus, doubles its footprint in the US market and that the synergies from the Handheld acquisition are being harvested in the group.
