Anthony Harris

Anthony Harris is president and CEO of Campbell/Harris Security Equipment Company (CSECO), the world's leader in portable contraband-detection equipment.

The company's devices enable agents from the Department of Homeland Security, United States Customs and Border Protection, and about sixty foreign governments to detect even the most cleverly concealed drugs, cash, and guns. Harris notes, “I come from inner-city Chicago, an area that was decimated by drugs. To...prevent some young people from following the wrong path is quite fulfilling.”

Harris received his engineering degree from Purdue University. Inspired by a campus group, he co-founded the National Society of Black Engineers, which now has 30,000 members.
