Davis, Martin



Southern Company, thus Southern Nuclear, Chief Information Officer (CIO), Jul 2015 – present. Wells Fargo Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and similar lower position, 2009 – 2014. Wachovia (acquired by Wells Fargo in 2008) data breach CIO and similar lower position, 2001 – 2009.

No IT education. Only a bachelor's degree in business administration from a low-ranked university. See The Most Important IT Credential: An IT Education in Principles of IT Incompetence.

$4,000,000+ is the value of Davis's real estate just in Atlanta GA. I could not FOIA Davis's salary like I could for David Nelson, IT incompetent CIO of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. See Nuclear 9/11. However, it makes sense to give Davis's personal assets because when you or yours are sick or dead from radiation sickness that Davis has negligently caused — incompetence is negligence — you can sue him for these personal assets because he will have lost his corporate liability protection. According to property tax records, Davis (full name Martin Bernard Davis) personally owns a $2,390,000 mansion (bought Sep 2015) in Sandy Springs, an affluent — many corporate headquarters are there — north Atlanta suburb. Also in Sandy Springs, Davis personally owns a $657,521 townhouse (bought May 2019) and a $637,765 townhouse (bought Jun 2019), probably rented to wealthy corporate executives. Davis also personally owns a $447,000 condo (bought Feb 2015) in mid-town Atlanta, probably for personal in-town use. Davis may own more in and around Atlanta and elsewhere. Davis is obviously far more interested in his real estate business than in protecting you and yours from radiation sickness as Southern Nuclear CIO.

From U.S. Surrenders in IT War, Starts Paying Tribute to Russia:
Besides being headquartered near Atlanta Georgia, Colonial Pipeline Company is like Equifax, whose hacking was also a national security disaster (see Equifax Dead: Hacked So Credit Reports Worthless), in that it is IT incompetent. Equifax's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) during its data breach was Susan Mauldin, who has no IT education — see The Most Important IT Credential: An IT Education in Principles of IT Incompetence — only degrees in music composition from a Georgia college. Colonial Pipeline Company's Chief Information Officer (CIO) is, for the last 5 years, Marie Mouchet, who is also IT incompetent, having no IT education, only degrees in math education, for teaching high school, from a Georgia college. As Marie Mouchet also makes clear on her LinkedIn page, her main interest is teaching STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math; one more ridiculous step beyond STEM) and women in technology; see No IT Education: STEM and IT Hiring: Trading IT Competence for Diversity in Principles of IT Incompetence.

Even more frightening for national security, for the 13 years before Marie Mouchet became CIO of Colonial Pipeline, she was CIO for Southern Nuclear, which operates three nuclear power plants (currently two reactors each) in Georgia and Alabama.

Marie Mouchet was replaced as CIO of Southern Nuclear 5 years ago by Martin Davis, who also has no IT education so is IT incompetent; he only has a bachelor's degree in business administration.

Further, by Martin Davis's own admission on his LinkedIn page, from 2003 – 2009 he was responsible for "all aspects of [information] technology for Wachovia Corporation worldwide". For many years now, all checks have been processed via IT. In 2007 it was discovered that using stolen identities, probably stolen via IT and from Wachovia itself, unsigned checks, which should have been checked for by IT but were not, had been used to steal $142 million from personal Wachovia bank accounts. In one of the largest penalties ever demanded by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Treasury Department bureau responsible for regulating banks, Wachovia had to pay $144 million.

Martin Davis seems to have been hired only because he is an African-American and Southern's leadership is otherwise mostly white; see IT Hiring: Trading IT Competence for Diversity in Principles of IT Incompetence. Davis couldn't protect people, black or white, from having money stolen from their accounts in his bank; he certainly can't protect them from what will happen to them from hacking of his nuclear power plants.

When hackers hack into nuclear power plants, which as shown they inevitably will — or already have, as explained in Handing Over America's Electrical Grid to the Russians — given all the IT incompetents like Marie Mouchet and Martin Davis doing cybersecurity for them, many people will not just be greatly inconvenienced as they were in the Colonial Pipeline hacking, they will be killed, as they were in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster. The Russians are eager to prove that they are not the only country capable of such a disaster.
From Ransomwared Nuclear Power Plants Upwind of Major U.S. Cities:
As I emailed to news outlets in the major cities downwind of the very possibly ransomwared nuclear power plants, in summary of U.S. Surrenders in IT War, Starts Paying Tribute to Russia:
You are aware of the Russian-backed hacking and ransomwaring of Colonial Pipeline and the devastating effect on the south and east coast.

The Colonial Pipeline executive responsible for allowing this is IT incompetent Chief Information Officer (CIO) Marie Mouchet, whose only education is as a high school teacher. Before she became Colonial Pipeline CIO several years ago she was CIO for Southern Nuclear, which operates three nuclear power plants (currently two reactors each):

1. Vogtle, near Augusta GA and upwind of Savannah GA, Columbia SC, and Charleston SC.
2. Hatch, near Baxley GA and upwind of Savannah GA and Jacksonville FL.
3. Farley, along GA's southwestern border with AL (near Dothan AL) and upwind of Tallahassee FL.

Marie Mouchet was replaced as Southern Nuclear's CIO by Martin Davis, who also has no IT education so is IT incompetent; he only has a bachelor's degree in business administration. Obviously neither is any match for Russian hackers, or any other hackers for that matter.

If a nuclear power plant is hacked into, a meltdown like Chernobyl could be caused, and the Russians are eager to prove that they are not the only country capable of such a deadly disaster.
You should know about the following three nuclear power plant accidents, but may not given the incompetence of the media and the educational system:

1. Three Mile Island — in Pennsylvania, upwind of Philadelphia; accident started March 1979.
2. Chernobyl — in Ukraine, formerly the USSR (Russia), upwind of Kiev, capital of Ukraine; disaster started April 1986.
3. Fukushima Daiichi — in Japan, on the island of Honshu, where Tokyo is; disaster started March 2011.

...

The Chief Information Officer (CIO) of a nuclear power plant, or any other company, is the civilian official responsible for stopping hackers. As explained in U.S. Surrenders in IT War, Starts Paying Tribute to Russia and summarized above, the IT incompetent — only trained as a high school teacher — but diverse CIO of ransomwared Colonial Pipeline, Marie Mouchet, used to be CIO for Southern Nuclear. Mouchet was replaced by IT incompetent — only has a bachelor's degree in business administration — but diverse Martin Davis as CIO of Southern Nuclear. Neither Marie Mouchet nor Martin Davis has any chance of stopping any hackers. Southern Nuclear will be hacked just like Colonial Pipeline was, and probably already secretly has been.
From Nuclear 9/11:
Even more frightening, Marie Mouchet was Southern Nuclear CIO from 2003 – 2016, which includes the start of construction in 2009 of the mentioned two new nuclear reactors being added to the Vogtle nuclear power plant. I thus wrote more about her in Ransomwared Nuclear Power Plants Upwind of Major U.S. Cities.

Mouchet was replaced as Southern Nuclear CIO in 2016 by Martin Davis, who also has no IT education so is IT incompetent; he only has a bachelor's degree in business administration. Further, from 2003 – 2009 Davis was responsible for "all aspects of [information] technology for Wachovia Corporation worldwide" and in 2007 there was a data breach in which $142 million was stolen from Wachovia bank account holders. Finally, Davis is far more interested in his million dollar real estate business than in protecting you and yours from radiation sickness. Martin Davis was also added to the Business IT Incompetents Hall Of Shame after U.S. Surrenders in IT War, Starts Paying Tribute to Russia and I wrote more about him in Ransomwared Nuclear Power Plants Upwind of Major U.S. Cities.

Other nuclear power plant company cybersecurity executives are almost certainly also IT incompetent and I will be investigating and writing about them in the future.

Nuclear power plant companies are overseen directly by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), an independent agency of the U.S. Government that is already notorious for its incompetence and corruption. The NRC Chief Information Officer (CIO) would naturally be responsible for the cybersecurity oversight. David Nelson is (2016 – present) NRC CIO and also has no IT education so is IT incompetent; he only has a bachelor's degree in business management from the University of Phoenix, which itself is a notorious for-profit college providing fake educations. The NRC may have been hacked while Nelson was CIO in The Doomsday Microsoft Government Email Data Breach, and before that Nelson did cybersecurity for HealthCare.gov, during which time it was hacked; see HealthCare.gov Hacked. I wrote about David Nelson in Ransomwared Nuclear Power Plants Upwind of Major U.S. Cities, and then added him to the Government IT Incompetents Hall Of Shame.
