About

My name is Rebecca J. Connell and I am a resilient and highly-disciplined leader offering wide-ranging experience in diplomacy, global, cyber and DoD security, intelligence, and strategic national security issues. Throughout my career, I have driven process improvement efforts, defined and redefined operational best practices, and lead complex projects and operations across multiple workgroups, countries and corporate stakeholders.



I performed exceptionally well as an operations officer in Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and developed strong competencies to lead cybersecurity and security projects and overall aspects of program management. Proven experience in management and leadership roles within the defense contractor industry with a key focus on Department of Defense cybersecurity and program protection management.



Exceptional record of dedicating support to defense industry by leveraging holistic intelligence background to secure the industry's physical and cybersecurity space. Adept at implementing and maintaining physical security solutions that guard confidentiality, integrity, and availability of vital human, physical, and information assets. Excellent leadership traits, strategic development, executive decision-making, problem-solving, project planning, and communication. Solid analytical skills with the capability to identify solutions to unusual and complex problems. Proven ability to work across business functions and areas of expertise to deliver exceptional results. While others take pride in meeting all standards set before them, my passion is for delivering service that goes beyond organizational expectations, creating a win-win scenario for everyone involved!
