As the Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Tech, I serve as an advisor to the President on matters related to cybersecurity, digital innovation, and emerging technologies. I coordinate the interagency response to cyber threats and engage with allies and partners on cyber cooperation. With over 25 years of experience in the government and private sector, I try to bring a unique perspective and experience to this work, which is primarily around advancing US national security interests, enhancing cyber resilience, and fostering innovation and collaboration between the private and public sectors. Prior to joining the White House, I led the establishment of the NSA's Cybersecurity Directorate, bringing together thousands of intelligence analysts, cybersecurity professionals, cryptographers, researchers, and technologists. I previously led NSA’s global intelligence operations, and served as a White House Fellow. I care deeply about public service, inspired by the gifts this country has provided my family and so many other refugee and immigrant families.
