In the Crosshairs of National Security - with Chris Piehota

This episode is all about the world of national security and covert operations with retired FBI Agent, Chris Piehota. With a career spanning nearly a quarter of a century, at one point serving as one of six people who oversaw strategic and select daily operations for the entire FBI organization, Chris has a wealth of insights to share from his time spent safeguarding our nation. Chris is in a unique position to analyze where things have been, where things currently stand, and where things could be going with today's FBI.

From leading complex national security investigations to steering cutting-edge technology platforms, Piehota's contribution to the realm of security and risk mitigation is immeasurable. Having been recognized as a Senior Intelligence Officer by the Director of National Intelligence and honored with a 2017 Presidential Rank Award, his expertise in national security matters is second to none.

We discuss his experiences overseeing high-stakes intelligence collection programs, his innovative approaches to leadership and organizational development, and his impactful strategies for process improvement and change management. We'll also take a peek into his time as the Chief Executive for FBI Science and Technology Programs, and the Director of the United States Government's global Terrorist Screening Center.
