ABOUT ALI HASSAN
With 20 years of experience spanning military service and the private sector, I am a strategic program leader dedicated to achieving mission-critical outcomes. My career is defined by a consistent track record of excellence in cybersecurity operations, program management, and advanced technical training.I have held a variety of impactful roles, from a Network Infrastructure Technician in the U.S. Navy to a Lead Analyst at a national-level Incident Response Center. My experience then broadened to include serving as a Senior Cyber Security Engineer for the FCC and as the Principal Defensive Cyber Operations Exercise and Evaluations Planner for U.S. Cyber Command, where I planned and coordinated major joint exercises like Cyber-Knight and Cyber-Guard. I further translated this expertise into the private sector as an Assistant Director of Cyber Product Training for Hexis Cyber Solutions and as an Offensive and Defensive Cyber Methodologies trainer for KeyW.This unique experience culminates in my current role as a Senior Cyber Operations Course Developer, where I am the lead for creating and maintaining the Computer Network Operator Qualification Course (CNOQC), a graduate-level, ACE-accredited E-Learning program. This work, which includes designing and developing scenario-driven virtual training networks for military personnel, is a testament to my ability to transform complex threats into practical and effective learning experiences.Beyond my deep technical expertise in digital forensics, threat hunting, and incident response, I have cultivated a strong foundation in business and management principles. My training from the McKinsey Management Program has provided me with a strategic perspective on talent management, operational excellence, and risk management, allowing me to not only lead technical teams but also align their work with broader organizational goals. My expertise is further validated by PMP and CISSP certifications and underpinned by a top-tier security clearance.
