Prior to FireEye, Joe was a top-ranking FBI executive driving federal cyber response strategies in partnership with the private sector. With six years in Senior Executive Service, Joe most recently served in the FBI’s Office of Private Sector where she improved intelligence sharing and threat preparedness with Fortune 500 company C-suite executives, and U.S. and foreign government counterparts.

Immediately prior to serving in the Office of the Private Sector, Joe was appointed by and served under the Director of National Intelligence as the Director of the Cyber Threat Intelligence Integration Center (CTIIC). In this role she worked extensively with the Intelligence Community (IC) to develop cyber threat intelligence, strategies, lessons learned, emergency readiness, crisis management, incident response, and other plans to advance the IC’s agility and performance related to cyber threats and attacks.

Over a career spanning 25 years, Joe has been a transformational leader implementing and guiding organizational change. This includes co-authoring and implementing the FBI’s first comprehensive, integrated strategy for Cyber, Counterterrorism, and Counterintelligence as well as implementing strategic and tactical cyber operations adopted and executed by the National Security Council, the IC, and allied nations.

Her experience driving and implementing organizational change puts her in a unique position to help us meet the challenges ahead as we address the intensifying threat landscape,” said John Watters, FireEye President and Chief Operating Officer.

“I have collaborated with the Mandiant team for many years as we have shared the same aim of countering cyber threats posed by the worst threat actors,” said Joe. “Having worked closely with the security industry over the years, I believe there was no better place to apply my skills and experience than Mandiant.”
