With decades of high stakes experience in law enforcement, national security, cybersecurity and geopolitics, Lisa Monaco helps leaders and organizations understand today’s dynamic threat environment and deliver strategies for an era where disruptive technology meets a disrupted world order.

Lisa’s experience spans decision-making at the highest levels of the Justice Department and FBI, coordinating crisis response from the Situation Room inside the White House, to advising the nation’s boardrooms. She brings deep strategic, management and operational experience from inside and outside government. As Deputy Attorney General of the United States, she was the COO of the 115,000 person organization and oversaw a $39 billion budget. The nation’s top law enforcement agencies—including the FBI—and the nation’s federal prosecutors reported to her. In this role, she established innovative AI governance and enforcement strategies and spearheaded a pivot in the nation’s approach to combatting cyber threats like ransomware and nation-state cyber attacks.

As Homeland Security and Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama she advised the President on all aspects of counterterrorism strategy and policy and coordinated the nation’s response to a wide range of security issues, including international and domestic terrorist incidents, cyber threats, pandemics, and natural disasters. Outside of government she has served in private practice and on numerous private sector and non-profit boards focused on national security issues.

In a time of heightened volatility and risk, Lisa provides clear insights and actionable guidance to help organizations navigate today’s complex geopolitical landscape and protect their both most critical assets and reputation.

Lisa is a dynamic speaker who has a broad and deep understanding of the key national security issues affecting our country and the world.  Her events on campus were over-subscribed and the public speech attracted an audience of well over 300 people, with a significant audiences watching the streaming video as well.  Lisa was a pleasure to work with in the lead-up to the event and fully engaged with our students over a busy afternoon and evening. I highly recommend her as a public speaker.
