Maryland’s Governor-elect Larry Hogan has appointed Indian American entrepreneur Sam Malhotra as Secretary of the Department of Human Resources within the Maryland State Cabinet. Malhotra is the founder and chief executive officer of Subsystem Technologies Inc., an Arlington-based company that provides defense and safety related I.T. solutions for the federal government. Malhotra now has the distinction of being the first Indian American to ever be named to a governor’s cabinet. He had previously served in Governor Robert L. Ehrlich’s Administration on the Maryland Commission for Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs. I am truly humbled and honored to serve in Governor Hogan’s Administration, Malhotra was quoted as saying by the Baltimore Sun. I look forward to the challenge of serving as Secretary of the Department of Human Resources, and helping Governor Hogan meet his policy objectives to serve the great people of the State of Maryland.
