Improving National Security with Technology

About the Event

CACI’s leadership joins the Hume Center for a unique dialogue with military, government and private sector viewpoints: 

• LTG Michael H. Shields, U.S. Army (RET.) – Senior Vice President, Technology and Strategy Implementation, CACI National Security and Innovation Solutions (NSIS)
• Glenn A. Kurowski – Senior Vice President, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), CACI

LTG Michael H. Shields will bring his 30-year decorated military career experience, keen operational perspectives, and worldview of the national security challenges the nation faces.  Glenn A. Kurowski will bring his life-long private sector experience, insight into research and innovation, and the business view on how Industry invests ahead of customer need and partners with the Military/Government to address their challenges.  You’ll not only hear about today’s and tomorrow’s challenges, but how artificial intelligence, quantum, data analytics, mmWave communications, agile software development at scale, and other advanced technologies are being used to provide U.S. advantage and address increasingly sophisticated threats.  Both speakers will share their perspectives on leadership, maintaining a life-long learning orientation, and approaches to “getting to yes” in a world seemingly dominated by barriers.
