Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce recognizes A-T Solutions founder at annual awards gala for outstanding success as business leader
Fredericksburg, Va., Nov. 1, 2010 – Ken Falke, founder and chairman of the board of A-T Solutions Inc., was named Entrepreneur of the Year by the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce. This award recognizes Falke’s business success in founding A-T Solutions Inc., a world-class, industry-leading intelligence and anti- and counterterrorism professional services firm, and the company’s work to support and enhance its local community. The award was presented at a black-tie gala on Friday, Jan. 29, at the Fredericksburg Hospitality House and Conference Center.
“It’s an honor to receive this award,” said Falke. “The incredible team of talented men and women I’ve had the pleasure of working with in building A-T Solutions – many of whom are residents around Fredericksburg – really deserve the credit. As we move forward and continue to grow and expand, we’ll remain dedicated to creating a safer and more secure world.”
Ken Falke, a 21-year combat veteran of the U.S. Navy and founder of A-T Solutions, recently transitioned from the company’s CEO to chairman of the board. The company, however, still retains Falke’s founding principle to ensure the security of the nation’s citizens, resources and institutions through the company’s various intelligence and anti- and counterterrorism technologies and services. Falke is respected as one of the foremost authorities on personnel training and technology development for the military and first responder bomb disposal communities. He also serves as a subject expert for departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice and State.
“We are extremely proud that Ken is being recognized for his leadership talent and entrepreneurial achievements,” said Dennis Kelly, A-T Solutions CEO. “This award demonstrates not only the success of A-T Solutions, but also Ken’s fulfillment of his entrepreneurial vision for the company. Under his strategic direction, and in a relatively short time frame, A-T Solutions became a recognized leader within the government contracting industry.”
