Analogic has appointed Bill Frain as president of Aviation Security Solutions and hired Stephanie Larkin as general counsel. The appointments support the company’s expansion across aviation security and other detection markets.
Frain brings more than 20 years of executive experience spanning aviation security, cargo and vehicle screening, critical infrastructure, and government customers.
He most recently served as CEO of Liberty Defense. In that role, he led the commercial introduction of people-screening technology and guided the company through its Nasdaq listing.
At Analogic, Frain will oversee the aviation security business. His responsibilities include revenue growth, international expansion, customer relationships, product development, and innovation across the company’s aviation portfolio.
Aviation screening providers operate within a demanding regulatory and procurement environment. Customers include airports, government agencies, and security organizations that require high detection performance, operational reliability, and efficient passenger processing.
Analogic’s capabilities combine advanced imaging, artificial intelligence, automation, and precision power. Frain’s experience commercializing screening systems and working with government markets aligns with the company’s effort to grow this business globally.
Larkin joins Analogic from Hinckley Allen, where she was a partner. She previously served as group vice president and general counsel at Nortek Security & Control.
Her experience includes corporate transactions, governance, regulatory compliance, commercial contracting, intellectual property, and enterprise risk. She has advised public companies, private equity-backed businesses, and growth-oriented organizations.
As general counsel, Larkin will oversee Analogic’s legal affairs and provide strategic guidance to management. Her remit includes governance, compliance, regulation, contracts, intellectual property protection, and risk management.
The additions come as Analogic integrates expanded capabilities and pursues opportunities across aviation, ports and borders, critical infrastructure, healthcare, and industrial markets.
The company designs, manufactures, and supports detection, imaging, automation, and power technology. Its global installed base gives it existing customer relationships that management believes can support additional product introductions.
CEO Tom Ripp said the appointments strengthen an experienced leadership team at an important point in Analogic’s development. Frain will focus on commercial and product growth in aviation, while Larkin helps the company manage the legal and regulatory complexity associated with expansion.
