Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Clarke is a veteran national security and cybersecurity leader with decades of public service at the highest levels, including roles as National Coordinator for Security and Counter-terrorism and the first Special Advisor to the President for Cyberspace. He authored the first National Strategy for Cyber Security, managed national crisis response on 9/11, and later translated that experience into academia, journalism, books, and a national media presence. Today he advises and serves on boards across the private sector—from Paladin Capital and Multiplan to RedSeal, Hawkeye360, and Sectigo—bringing deep policy, operational, and investment insight into application security and cyber startups. A recipient of industry lifetime-achievement honors and author of multiple influential books, he combines practical crisis-tested judgment with a talent for communicating complex risks to public and corporate audiences. Less obvious: he pairs boardroom influence with hands-on support for early-stage cyber ventures through Shenandoah Cyber Investments and advisory roles, bridging policy, commerce, and technical innovation.
