Dawn Meyerriecks
Dawn Meyerriecks, a global pioneer in developing new technical products and services will be one of this year’s Keynote Speakers. She has also lead transformation for iconic brands around the world – including the CIA, AOL, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Additionally, Meyerriecks has received many awards, including Washingtonian’s Tech Titan, numerous Presidential Rank Awards, Fortune’s Top 100 Intellectuals, and Infoworld’s CTO of the Year.
As a former leader of the CIA Directorate of Science and Technology, Meyerriecks affords us the insight and experience only she is qualified to share. She redefined technical oversight for the Intelligence Community and led the restructure of AOL Products to ensure alignment of business objectives and services. She has served on the National Security Agency (NSA) Corporate Board for over a decade, also supports both their Technical Strategy and Information Assurance subcommittees.
Meyerrieck’s expertise is a well-sought commodity. Bob Gourey, CTO of OODA, calls Meyerreicks “one of the top technologists in the world,” and she is a frequent contributor to Intelligence Matters, a weekly podcast about national security and policy hosted by former CIA acting director and CBS News national security contributor Michael Morell.
“Dawn Meyerriecks is the CIA’s top technologist. If you watch the Bond movies, she’s basically the head of Q Branch. Meyerriecks oversees the CIA’s secretive Directorate of Science and Technology, also known as DS&T.”
