She’s helped develop the U.S. Army Cyber Command and worked directly with the senior staff members-including the Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff of the Army to improve the effectiveness of cyber and other IT solutions. Lawrence also served as the Commanding General for the Army’s Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM).
