Meet Juliane Gallina
Gallina currently serves as deputy director of digital innovation at the CIA. She joined the organization in April 2019 as chief information officer and later assumed the role of associate deputy director of digital innovation before being elevated to her current position in January. She is a two-time recipient of the Wash100 Award.
Juliane Gallina’s Career Background
Gallina has extensive experience in both the public and private sectors. Prior to joining the CIA, she spent nine years at IBM, where she served as a partner before moving into the role of vice president of U.S. federal key accounts. She was also an executive at Edge Consulting, which was purchased by the National Interest Security Company in 2008. A year later, she was appointed as director of software at NISC.
Gallina’s experience in federal leadership roles began at the National Reconnaissance Office, where she spent over a decade, beginning as a senior system engineer and program manager and ending as a deputy program director. She has additionally served as a U.S. Navy commander and was a seminar leader for the Navy Reserve’s Joint Rapid Acquisition Cell.
Juliane Gallina’s Innovation Goals
While serving in her previous role, Gallina revealed her top five technology priority areas in a September 2022 video interview with Executive Mosaic. These points of focus include:
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Blockchain and cryptocurrency
- Biotechnology
- Microelectronics
- Next-generation communications
Though these technologies offer many benefits for the United States, she noted that they are also “avenues for adversaries to disrupt American global economic superiority or strength, and they’re seeking to undermine it.”
