Mr. Maltz is widely recognized as a national leader in the fight against fentanyl and global drug trafficking. He frequently appears in U.S. media and testifies before Congress to raise awareness on critical public safety threats.
Mr. Maltz rejoins Penlink after serving as Acting Administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). His leadership in that role was the latest chapter in a distinguished 28-year federal career, including service as Special Agent in Charge of the DEA’s Special Operations Division and as Chief of the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force.
During his prior decade-long tenure at Penlink, Mr. Maltz served as Executive Director of Government Relations, helping to shape the company’s strategy for federal engagement and advocating for the integration of investigative tools across public safety agencies.
