President, CEO Andrew Hinkebein
A believer in small business being the backbone of this country and a driven entrepreneur, Andrew Hinkebein has worked diligently to build MGT and create the perfect combination of service to fulfill the needs of both government and the private sector. He has a background that spans through both marketing and federal contracting.
After serving in the United States Marine Corps from 2003 until 2007 in the field of intelligence, Andrew landed his first job working for Rockwell Collins Government Systems building and training Special Forces and National Guard Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams on the use of one way intelligence reach back imagery systems. He traveled extensively working with our nation’s military.
He moved on from Rockwell Collins to take over NVision Solution’s multiple federal contracts at Stennis Space Center. Those contracts included the administrative staff for the Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command, mine warfare imagery analysis and a 365 day a year 24/7 operations center controlling the worlds largest fleet of unmanned autonomous underwater submersibles for the Naval Oceanography Command. During that time he was also the lead technical writer for the NAVO Continuity of Operations Plan and integration of 14 separate departments.
Seeing the true value of the new and emerging social media realm, took him away from the federal world into the private sector where Andrew worked as an independent business and marketing consultant. He regularly consulted with multiple nationally syndicated television shows, local television stations, state level political campaigns, convention centers and other small to medium businesses on the needs and value of social media marketing. Now, with the knowledge of both sides he has created MGT from Mississippi Global Technologies to provide IT, social media marketing, and software development to any sector that needs it.
