One of the primary aims of George Conrades, now that he has taken the helm at Bolt Beranek & Newman Inc – apart from returning the Cambridge, Massachusetts company to profit – is to increase its commercial business: currently, its business is mostly with the government, with about two thirds of sales going to the US Department of Defense and other agencies, and Conrades said that he plans to re-evaluate the business mix, commenting that a mix of 50% government and 50% commercial would be a good place to start.
