Siemens hires ex-US commander in Afghanistan

(Reuters) – FRANKFURT – December 19, 2011 – Germany’s Siemens named Stanley McChrystal, a former commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, to head a new unit aimed at winning U.S. government contracts.
The appointment of McChrystal, who was fired by President Barack Obama last year after he made disparaging remarks in a magazine interview, comes at a time when Siemens is eager to improve relations with Washington D.C. following a bribery scandal settled in 2008.
McChrystal, a retired four-star general in the United States Army, will become chairman of the board of directors at Siemens Government Technologies, Siemens said in a statement on Monday.
He will be joined by former U.S. Army Lieutenant General John Sylvester and retired Lockheed Martin and General Electric executive Robert Coutts, who will serve as board members, Siemens said. (Click HERE for article)
