Past Work Performance.

  • CIP has over thirty years in corporate leadership, new business development, sales and marketing, and venture captial acquisition. CIP are creators of Revenue Growth & Sales Optimization Programs for Economic Development for cities and companies. As one example, CIP experience grew sales revenue from $2 million to $150 million in four years accelerating the company into a successful IPO.

    CIP experience has received Fortune 100 award for proposal technical writing that led to a $15billion intelligence services contract and was involved in a response for a White House Office of Science & Technology alternative GPS/6G solutions project.

  • PMI certified with Defense Aquisition training and experience (e.g.) F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (ACAT I) and other International Armaments Cooperation projects, initiatives, and programs.

    Experience includes agreement writing and negotiation, management of successful $3million project approval through full-cycle planning, programming, budget, and execution (PPBE) process, and development of multi-year foreign military sales business case for the U.S. Army.

    CIP policy experience includes documentation authored and signed by the Defense Intelligence Agency Director along with past review, advised edits of other products, to include the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and National Cybersecurity Strategy.

    CIP experience has organized IC/DoD-wide forums to demonstrate annual strategy and project success - one in particular hosted by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) Director that included over 700 participants and 50 “emerging technology” demos. Another forum was co-hosted between the Department of State and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence at the National Press Club titled, “ICT in Africa.”

  • CIP staff and SME experts have over 20 years of experience in the cyber advising discipline. Most recently, the President and CEO (as the Regional Cyber Lead (Europe) for the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, Institute for Security Governance) managed logistics, $250K in resourcing (to included identification and hiring) of a team of experts to orchestrate over five Institutional Capacity Building (ICB) - Cyber & Digitization engagements in Romania, Kosovo, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. The teams advised cyber command elements, Presidential staff/council members, interagency, and Ministry of Defense groups on cyber strategy, policy, governance, and law, workforce development, critical infrastructure, crisis planning, SOC infrastructure, and provided incident response training.

  • Over 15 years of experience in these functional areas. One mission activity received first-time reporting in the President’s Daily Brief (PDB). Other contributions have been published as annual assessment to support congressional testimony and products placed in “read books” for senior U.S. government (USG) officials, such as the Assistant Secretary of Energy for Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response.

    Experience ranges across the Intelligence Community, Department of Defense, and private sector (business competitive intelligence).

    Example:

    • U.S. European Command (EUCOM). Weekly research, briefing, RFI response, and production on adversary CTI in Europe (primarily Russian), emerging technologies in Europe (that led to authorship/production of first-ever Great Power Competition requirement in Europe), and threats to critical infrastructure, including supply chain analysis. During COVID pandemic, managed 6-week remote FireEye Inc. (present-day Mandiant) CTI reporting pilot project with RFI reach back capability that supplemented USG/Intel reporting – included 24/7 support and first-time reporting during Iran crisis in January 2020.

    • Cyber threat products and Morning Update Briefs (MUBs) frequently presented to EUCOM Commander and Joint Cyber Center Director.

    • In collaboration with U.S. Transportation Command and the ODNI National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NSCS), facilitated a working group on “cyber threats to mobility logistics, supply chain, and critical infrastructure.” Results of discussion were incorporated into future tabletop exercise activity.

  • Adjunct instruction and content development for the NYU Cyber Threat Intelligence Analysis course, which is a method-driven course that uses a holistic “human centered” approach beginning with the understanding of traditional analytics, ethics, and intelligence lifecycle applied in cyberspace. The course covers concepts from planning and building a threat intelligence project and using kill chain methodologies for discovery of cyber threats to developing CTI requirements and producing a collection plan. CTIA involves practitioner exercises and labs (e.g.), threat modeling, case review of significant past events like the SolarWinds cyber attack, and the authorship of a CTI report for dissemination, briefing, and sharing relevant data and information with stakeholders. These concepts are essential to building an effective cyber threat intelligence program and, when used properly, can secure an organization (public or private, including Corporate) from future threats like espionage, cybercrime, and other disruptive cyber activities to include disinformation campaigns.

  • CIP provides direct support (including cyber and digital transformation skillsets where applicable) to Human Domain Solutions, a Virginia-based small business specializing in professional services, consulting, staffing, national security Role Playing, and training in the core areas of the Human Domain: Foreign Area Officer and Specialist (FAO) programs; Human-Derived Intelligence; Language, Region, and Culture; Security Assistance and Building Partnership Capacity; Disaster Preparedness and Response; and support to Special Operations Forces.
