Director of Strategic Engagement

National Defense University — College of Information & Cyberspace (U.S. Department of Defense)
Primary liaison for the Department of Defense's premier higher-education institution in the cyberspace domain, information environment, and disruptive technologies — supporting the college's mission to educate joint warfighters, national-security leaders, and the cyber workforce to lead, advise, and advance national and global security.
  • Executed the engagement objectives of the college's strategic plan — standing up a private-sector fellowship, its first alumni network and inaugural governing board, and a managed portfolio of 30+ academic agreements with credit-transfer pathways — converting a written plan into operating partnership channels.
  • Rebuilt faculty engagement reporting from disconnected channels into a single automated collection-and-visualization system, removing a reporting burden faculty had raised for years and giving leadership its first complete view of the college's engagement footprint to promote and pitch from.
  • Applied OSINT link-analysis tradecraft to structured, dispersed data to map and measure university-wide external relationships and engagements by frequency and impact — responding directly to the university president's (a three-star admiral) personal request in support of his strategic-engagement needs, and delivering a comprehensive nodal-analysis chart he could use in his own engagements and to promote the university's colleges.
  • Researched the national-security and strategic-deterrence implications of the Bitcoin protocol, proof-of-work, and blockchain technology in support of emerging- and disruptive-technology education — briefing faculty and developing relationships within the private-sector digital-asset community for knowledge-sharing.

Senior Privacy Program Manager & Cybersecurity Senior Advisor

Venable LLP
Privacy and data-governance transformation for a global Fortune-50 technology platform under the largest FTC privacy enforcement action in U.S. history.
  • Managed escalation response for the platform's data-scraping and cybersecurity incidents, including blockchain-traceable cryptocurrency-ransom cases — coordinating cross-functional legal, security, engineering, and executive teams from intake through conclusion.
  • Pioneered the development and execution of a user-data privacy safeguard program — establishing processes and procedures to evaluate user-data safeguards across the full data lifecycle, and convening engineering, legal, and policy teams to redesign and re-verify them — resulting in higher standards of protection for the platform's users and fulfilling compliance requirements under the consent decree.
  • Served as an internal subject-matter expert on Bitcoin and blockchain analysis, delivering a lecture on digital assets, tokenization, and the difference between proof-of-work and proof-of-stake consensus algorithms to legal and cybersecurity professionals.
Feb 2018 — Jul 2021

Open-Source Intelligence and Investigative Analyst

Link Analysis LLC
Founder-led intelligence and digital-investigations practice delivering OSINT, social-network analysis, and influence-operations investigation for cybersecurity, corporate-intelligence, legal, military, and law-enforcement clients.
  • Led a multi-year investigation for a top-tier U.S. law firm into a state-sponsored influence operation targeting a U.S. ally — recruiting and directing an analyst team, consolidating all reporting, and presenting findings in person to counsel and senior foreign-government leadership abroad — supporting international litigation efforts and driving platform enforcement action that removed thousands of inauthentic accounts.
  • Developed original attribution tradecraft — reverse-tracing embedded analytics code and ad-network identifiers to expose coordinated networks of seemingly independent propaganda sites — and catalogued 23,000+ inauthentic accounts across six separate campaigns; produced litigation-grade attribution products in IBM i2 Analyst's Notebook, including 315-entity link charts.
  • Built and delivered a multi-hour OSINT investigations course for law-enforcement officers in the NY/NJ HIDTA program — covering the intelligence cycle, effective search tradecraft, covert account creation, social-network analysis, and operational privacy and security.
  • On contract to ProSol, delivered pre-deployment geopolitical, cultural, and socioeconomic training to U.S. military personnel supporting NATO's Exercise Trident Juncture (2018).
  • Produced attribution-grade OSINT and due-diligence for cybersecurity and corporate-investigation clients — surfacing undisclosed criminal histories, Ponzi-scheme fraud, and multinational beneficial-ownership networks.

Analysis Manager & Senior Intelligence Analyst

HighGround Global
OSINT program lead delivering protective intelligence for high-net-worth principals, a major professional sports league, and large-scale international events.
  • Entrusted by former senior CIA leadership to build the firm's first OSINT capability, augmenting ground security and protective intelligence — evaluating technology vendors, selecting the tool suite, writing workflows, and recruiting, training, and managing an analyst team across threat assessment and 24/7 alert monitoring, differentiating the firm in a competitive market.
  • Served as embedded OSINT lead for a professional sports league's international games — running threat assessments, geofencing venues, hotels, and movement routes, and managing satellite communications and field equipment for the ground security team — developing sufficient confidence and trust that an allied intelligence service made a policy exception to permit embedding alongside their team.
  • Delivered protective intelligence for high-value principals — including a former big-city mayor, a Fortune 500 founding family, and the founder-CEO of a major technology company — and conducted narrative and sentiment analysis for companies ahead of major public milestones, supporting risk and threat assessments.
