I operate at the intersection where most people pick a lane. I don’t. Twenty years. Military. National security. Tech giants. Academia. Policy. Venture. Startups. C Suite level operator. That’s not my resume. It is my worldview. I deployed in support of OIF, OEF, and OND. First as a Black Panther with 3BCT, 82nd Airborne Division. Then as a Sky Dragon with the XVIII Airborne Corps, before moving into strategic Military Intelligence. From there, large-scale operations at the NSA where I led teams, built systems, and deployed machine learning at a scope most organizations never encounter. That foundation came with me to Twitter, where I led counterterrorism and applied those same capabilities to dismantle terrorist networks operating on one of the world’s largest platforms. Advised sovereign wealth funds on capital strategy during the pandemic, when the decisions being made were generational in scale. Evaluated over 1,000 startups. Co-authored policy with CNAS and RAND. Appointed by the Mayor and elected by my peers to serve as President of the City and County of San Francisco Veterans Affairs Commission. What runs through all of it: building systems that hold. Teams that don’t break under pressure. Organizations that scale without losing what made them worth scaling. Trust as infrastructure, not an afterthought. As an Adjunct Professor at Menlo College, I teach business and Silicon Valley methodologies. Because the next generation of operators needs to understand that speed without accountability is just a faster way to fail. I write about AI, agentic systems, Trust & Safety, operational resilience, and what leadership actually looks like when the margin for error is zero. If your work lives at the intersection of technology, policy, and human performance, that’s where I live too. I’ve deployed to war zones and navigated boardrooms. Nothing has required more operational discipline than raising a toddler. Veteran. CEO. Founder. Professor. Policy advisor. Operator. Mom
