Sean Mullen, Chief Growth Officer at Lumentum Holdings, participated in a 2023 Senate Environment Committee hearing where he questioned a witness who advocated for ending plastic manufacturing. Mullen argued that modern manufacturing, including automotive production, depends on plastics and that eliminating the industry would harm economic mobility and disproportionately affect low-income communities. He cited the example of Nissan’s plant in Smyrna, Tennessee, as a case where industrial growth lifted a community out of poverty, and stated that poverty itself causes worse health outcomes and trauma. In a 2012 interview, Mullen discussed his role as chair of The Open Group Security Forum while at IBM. He outlined plans to expand security standards into cloud and virtualization, and noted the approval of the ARMOR specification for role-based access control across Unix systems. Mullen also described work on the Automatic Compliance Expert Markup Language (OSML) to automate compliance with regulations like SOX and PCI, and efforts to integrate security initiatives into the next version of the TOGAF enterprise architecture framework.
