Former Air Force secretary, Deborah James is a tried and tested leader who has dedicated more than 35 years to protecting the security of the American people as a leader in both the public and private sectors. Commended for her ability to get things done in a climate of gridlock and tribalism, James had to reinvent the Air Force in the face of downsizes, budget cuts, and growing international threats..

The second woman to lead a military branch, James served as the 23rd Air Force Secretary during the last three years of the Obama Administration. She was responsible for streamlining acquisitions processes, improving pilot training, increasing transparency, and speeding up innovation, while maintaining the country safe in a perilous backdrop that included increased cyber-terrorism, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and North Korea’s expanded nuclear weapons program.

James brought with her decades of experience in homeland security both as a federal government worker and private executive. Notably, she had spent 12 years at SAIC in a variety of high-ranking roles including President of the Technical and Engineering Sector and executive vice president for communications and government affairs.

Today, James is a sought-out speaker on leading with integrity when the stakes are high and frequently cited expert on cyberspace culture and defense policy. Additionally, she serves on the Board of Directors for Unisys, Noblis, the Atlantic Council, MKACyber, and Textron.
