In addition, as a retired United States Coast Guard Captain, John will leverage his deep experience in the maritime sector and his leadership experience in cybersecurity focused organizations. He served as the Director of the National Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Integration Center in DHS and as the Deputy Commander of the Coast Guard Cyber Command.
