Episode notes
Why are intelligence professionals stuck in the shadows while other executives climb to the C-suite? In this compelling fireside Chat, Danny and Melissa dive deep into a question that has been largely ignored in the corporate world: what is holding intelligence professionals back from reaching CEO, Chief Strategy Officer, and other top leadership roles? With backgrounds spanning FBI, military, and private sector intelligence, they explore the disconnect between the valuable skills intel analysts bring to the table and the rigid structures that keep them boxed in. This is a must-watch for anyone in cybersecurity, corporate intelligence, or global security who feels their expertise is undervalued and wants to understand how to change that narrative.
