As Senior Vice President and Director of the new group, Himberger develops new business in the areas of homeland security, energy, and the environment. He is based in NORC's Bethesda, MD office.
Himberger joined NORC from Booz Allen Hamilton, where he was a VP and Partner with an impressive track record of working with the federal government in a variety of relevant areas, including Homeland Security (HLS) and Homeland Defense (HLD) issues. In this role, he addressed survivability and vulnerability, as well as information and infrastructure assurance requirements for HLS, HLD, and enterprise resilience and assurance efforts across a wide range of Government and commercial clients. He led the firm's security team, supporting key clients including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA, Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and various law enforcement and counter-terrorism agencies. He also led the firm’s Global Risks Initiative Task Force, as well as the Pandemic Task Force, supporting Government and industry in preparedness, resiliency, and continuity of operations.
Prior to Booz Allen, Dr. Himberger served as the Technical Director of GTE/BBN Laboratories’ Sensors & Systems Technology Division, where he supported DARPA, DOD laboratories and acquisition commands, and various international (e.g., Japan, UK) defense and commercial efforts. He led modeling and simulation efforts, as well as development of operational systems to provide direct support to combat missions.
Himberger is the Chairman-Elect of the Board of Directors of Safe America, a not-for-profit organization supporting safety and resiliency across businesses and communities. He is a member of numerous professional societies and volunteer organizations.
