The Mississippi State Port Authority (MSPA) Board of Commissioners has named Jon Nass the new CEO/Executive Director of the Port of Gulfport following an 8-month national search. Nass comes to south Mississippi from the Maine Port Authority where he helped develop Northern New England’s only container terminal and secured tens of millions of dollars in funding for port and rail infrastructure. In addition to his port experience, he was Deputy Commissioner at the Maine Department of Transportation, served seven years in Congress, and most recently as counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security. Nass also served on a U.S. Department of State Provincial Reconstruction Team as a field officer embedded in a U.S. Army infantry battalion operating in Baqubah, Iraq. His start date is June 1.
