Doheny Global Group, an energy development firm, announces that Secretary Tom Ridge is now a strategic limited partner in the firm.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) January 29, 2009 — Doheny Global Group, a U.S.-based international developer of energy facilities, announces that Tom Ridge, the first secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and former governor of Pennsylvania, is now a strategic limited partner in the firm.

Irwin Katsof, Managing Partner of Doheny Global Group said “We are very excited to welcome Secretary Ridge to our team. His extensive leadership experience will be a tremendous asset to Doheny. Mr. Ridge shares Doheny’s commitment to working toward a future of greener energy. Additionally, energy security is consistently a great issue of national security in nations that are energy importers. Mr. Ridge’s extraordinary knowledge and capabilities in the realm of national security issues are natural complements to Doheny’s efforts to provide increased global energy security.”

Secretary Ridge commented “Doheny has a remarkable concentration of intellect and experience and I’m pleased to be a part of this team. I have known the members of Doheny for many years. They share my values of environmental responsibility and vision toward the promotion of energy independence. This is a tremendous opportunity to be a part of Doheny’s efforts to work toward a future with cleaner energy and greater energy security.”

Secretary Ridge currently serves as president and CEO of Ridge Global LLC, an international provider of strategic consulting services. Following the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, Mr. Ridge became the first Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and, on January 24, 2003, became the first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The creation of the country’s 15th Cabinet Department marked the largest reorganization of government since the Truman administration and another call to service for the former soldier, congressman and governor of Pennsylvania.

Before the events of September 11th, Tom Ridge was twice elected governor of Pennsylvania. He served as the state’s 43rd governor from 1995 to 2001. Known for his commitment to high standards and results, Governor Ridge delivered on his promise to make Pennsylvania “a leader among states and a competitor among nations.” Governor Ridge’s aggressive technology strategy helped fuel the state’s advances in economic development, education, health care and the environment.
