About me

I am a strategic advisor and language intelligence expert with over two decades of senior leadership experience in the U.S. Government. I hold a PhD in Slavic Linguistics and bring deep expertise in Russian, Czech, and language analysis to complex geopolitical and technology-driven challenges. As an NSA Senior Executive, I led large, multidisciplinary teams to modernize analytic tradecraft, advance AI-enabled tools, and support senior decision-makers on national security priorities. I now advise organizations at the intersection of language, strategy, and emerging technology.
