James E. Freeze
MG USA (Ret), Chairman
Board of Directors
Advising our CEO and senior management team in the overall business approach is the Board of Directors, including key individuals from the security industry, Federal Law Enforcement, Military and Legislative communities. The Board of Directors also acts as a “proxy board,” which serves to separate Paragon from its overseas parent and allows us to leverage for the benefit of our US Government clients the economies of scale of a $9 Billion security firm, while at the same time precluding the parent organization from any substantive knowledge of Paragon’s work in the cleared or US government environments.
Paragon is able to meet the needs of our most sensitive clients with protected and highly complex security programs and rock bottom workers compensation rates. Paragon has the agility of a focused US Government security provider with the experience, infrastructure and financial capabilities of a 200,000 person security team.
Major General Freeze is a veteran of over 50 years in the intelligence, security and electronic warfare arena. Freeze rose from Private to Major General during a 33-year Army career.
He subsequently established The Freeze Corporation, a professional services firm that provided intelligence, security and management support to government and corporate clients. In addition to his role with SCIS, General Freeze currently serves as President of two privately held business corporations.
