MARLBOROUGH, Mass., Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCQX: CNTM) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”), a technology company powering the physical layer of the AI economy, today announced that Daniel A. McGrath has been named Chief Executive Officer of Harry Kahn Associates, Inc. (“HKA”), the Company’s built-in channel into U.S. defense and government. Mr. McGrath succeeds Will Mumma, who is retiring after a long career at HKA. HKA, acquired by ConnectM in April 2026, carries both of ConnectM’s platforms, AI-Powered Logistics and AI Infrastructure, to military and federal customers.
Mr. Mumma has led HKA’s relationship with the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command, a partnership that has continued without interruption since 1976, and has been central to building the company’s standing across the defense industrial base. ConnectM thanks him for his years of leadership.
“Dan is exactly the right leader to take HKA into its next chapter,” said Mr. Mumma. “He has the discipline this business requires and a real respect for what our customers expect from us. I am proud of what this team has built, and I am confident it is in good hands.”
Mr. McGrath brings 35 years of experience leading public and private federal contracting businesses across information technology, engineering, and telecommunications services. He most recently served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Encentric, Inc., an IT managed services provider supporting defense and federal civilian agencies, and previously held cross-functional executive positions at Wintel Strategies, LS Technologies, Wyle Information Systems and RCM Technologies. His background includes successful pursuit, capture and execution of over $3.5B of funded prime contracts, and he holds an active Top Secret security clearance.
HKA has served the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command without interruption since 1976 and maintains ISO 9001:2015 certified technical data development processes. That standing, combined with longstanding relationships across the defense industrial base, positions HKA to carry ConnectM’s commercial technologies, including Keen Labs’ heat pump and battery storage platforms and the Decios logistics platform, into installation energy, sustainment, and base logistics applications.
“Will built HKA into the trusted supplier it is today, and all of us at ConnectM are grateful for his leadership,” said Bhaskar Panigrahi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ConnectM. “Dan has spent his career building and running federal contracting organizations, and he understands both the compliance discipline this channel requires and how to translate a commercial technology into a program a government customer can actually buy. We are glad to have him building on Will’s foundation.”
“HKA has fifty years of earned credibility with a customer that does not extend trust lightly,” said Mr. McGrath. “My job is to build the team and process to carry that standing further, and to be candid with our customers and partners about what we do well and where we still have work to do.”
Mr. McGrath holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from St. Francis University.
