Morpho Detection Inc. announced its president and CEO of the last six-plus years is leaving the business and is succeeded by Brad Buswell, former vice president of global strategy. Dennis Cooke is moving to Ryder System Inc., a transportation and supply chain management company.

Cooke was appointed president of GE Security Homeland Protection, now Morpho Detection Inc., in January 2005.

“Brad Buswell’s unique combination of government and business experience along with leadership skill makes him the clear choice to lead Morpho Detection to continued and further success,” said Jay Cohen, chairman of the board, Morpho Detection Inc. “The board and I have complete confidence in Brad’s ability to continue and enhance Morpho Detection’s track record of homeland security leadership. At the same time, we are appreciative of Dennis’ strong leadership, which will be missed.”

“Morpho Detection represents an important and strategic part of Morpho and Safran growth plans and I am completely confident in Brad Buswell’s ability to oversee its continued integration into Safran’s plans for security industry leadership,” said Jean-Paul Jainsky, chairman and CEO, Morpho. “Morpho Detection is positioned for growth and Brad’s experience in government and business makes him uniquely qualified for this new role.”

In his previous DHS role, Buswell led a 1,200 person staff in the development and implementation of Science and Technology Directorate strategy, organization, human capital and business processes, including responsibility for research programs with an annual budget of more than $800 million.
