Former U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber and Emerging Technology; joined Andreessen Horowitz in June 2026 as General Partner and Head of Global Affairs, leading the firm's technology cooperation with allied nations across AI, robotics, defense and cybersecurity. A career intelligence official (ex-NSA), her hire makes a16z's geopolitical posture explicit — the firm openly frames its mission as serving 'America and her allies,' an extension of its American Dynamism franchise (grown from $600M in 2023 to ~$1.18B in 2026). The clearest example yet of the government-to-VC revolving door in frontier-tech investing.
