Join WIRe on Wednesday December 2nd for an evening that will be out of this world! Relax, and join us for an intimate and inspirational, fireside chat with former NASA Chief Information Officer, Renee Wynn.
Renee P. Wynn retired April 30th as the NASA Chief Information Officer after 30-years of federal service. As the NASA CIO, Ms. Wynn led the effort to collaborate with the complex NASA mission programs to improve NASA’s global cybersecurity posture and continuously transform IT management, while overseeing an IT Portfolio of more than $2B and providing IT services to more than 60,000 customers across the globe.
