Summary
I am a serial entrepreneur with a passion for public service. I love small, fast-moving teams focused on disrupting big markets. I am currently the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Prior to this I was the CTO & Acting Director of the US Department of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC). Prior to pivoting to Government service I was co-founder and CEO of multiple successful startups – Oblix (acquired by Oracle), Determina (acquired by VMware), OpenDNS (acquired by Cisco), and ScaleXtreme (acquired by Citrix). I was a senior executive at VMware and Citrix, and started my career as a compiler engineer at Sun Microsystems. I have a degree in Computer Science and Math from Cornell, a Master of Science in Management from Stanford Business School, and a Master in Public Administration from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
