Michele Weslander Quaid discusses her personal experiences of working as the chief technology officer for Google, and as the DNI’s senior representative to the Secretary of Defense’s Intelligence-Surveillance-Reconnaissance Task Force. Throughout all of her successes, she said that she never had a “career plan,” or a path to get where she wanted to be.

She encouraged her audience to not limit themselves to a single industry, department, or career path.
