Riley Repko remains committed to building the ‘knowledge-bridge' between the innovator (the solver) with the requirement (the seeker). He has a long history of working with innovative small and medium sized companies and entrepreneurs leveraging his know-how to drive business. A constant and responsive connector, he is most comfortable strategizing with key industry decision-makers at the highest levels of government, between leading-edge cyber solution providers, venture capitalists, the white-hat 'wizards' and the R&D community. Today, Riley serves as both a cyber-secuirty consultant and a Senior Research Fellow in Cyber Security for Virginia Tech, and as an affiliated faculty member with the Ted and Karyn Hume Center for National Security and Technology. Prior to joining Virginia Tech, Mr Repko served as the senior advisor for cyber operations for both the United States Air Force and to the Office of the Undersecretary for Cyber Policy within the Department of Defense.
