Sammon as assistant administrator for the recently created office of Transportation Sector Network Management (TSNM). "It is a real coup for TSA to get John to join us from the private sector," said Kip Hawley, assistant secretary of TSA. "His leadership will strengthen our capability to actively engage with our public and private sector partners in improving security across the transportation network."

Previously he held senior vice president positions in the railroad industry with both Conrail and CSX. "I am very pleased to join the excellent leadership team that Kip Hawley and Robert Jamison have assembled at TSA," said John Sammon. "TSA is focused on a critical mission and I am honored to be a part of TSA's risk-based approach to improving transportation security. I look forward to working with our partners in the transportation community." Sammon has a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Bucknell University and a Master of Science in Economics from Texas A&M University.
