Dr. Joye Purser worked for 20 years in Washington D.C. shaping national technology policy. Initially a legislative assistant, she contributed to the policy agenda on science and technology and audited Pentagon programs. Later, as an expert in Defense Technology for the Office of Management and Budget, she coordinated multi-agency efforts to secure the semiconductor supply chain. Transitioning into the private sector, she worked on enterprise risk management and significantly contributed to the CDC's Continuity of Operations plan during the pandemic, also aiding post-pandemic recovery.
I realized that my knowledge and skills could help drive efficient operations as well as technical eminence, ultimately safeguarding the freedoms we hold dear.
In response to growing risks in microelectronics, I brought together a multi-agency group of technology leaders to build consensus and coordinate government-wide investments aimed at securing and strengthening the semiconductor supply chain.
Working for the government is 'heart work', as everyone involved is driven by the same central mission for their organization.
Silicon Valley has increasingly turned to security professionals like me, those with military or defense backgrounds, because tech companies are under attack and need to strengthen security.
