Val Collins brings over two decades of experience in intelligence, cybersecurity, and continuity planning to help guide strategic delivery across the company. A seasoned Navy veteran, Val blends operational precision with a deep commitment to client mission success—always with a focus on resilience, adaptability, and solutions that actually work under pressure. She’s a hands-on leader who believes the best ideas come from curiosity, experimentation, and asking the right questions before anyone else does.
Beyond the job title, Val is a dedicated technologist, avid hiker, and recreational shooter who finds clarity in movement and focus. Her two dogs bring balance—one a vigilant trauma response partner trained for calm in chaos, the other a loyal sidekick with a bark-based home defense philosophy. She leads with quiet confidence, a sharp sense of perspective, and a belief that good strategy leaves room for both structure and serendipity.
