Hunt brings extensive government agency and business experience, with a particular focus on new technology adoption.

Hunt had a distinguished 28-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), last serving as the agency’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO). As CTO, Hunt set the information technology strategic direction and future technology investment plan for the CIA. He also developed and led the CIA’s Accelerated Technology Adoption Process. Prior to serving as the CIA’s CTO, Hunt was its Director of Applications Services. In this role, he was responsible for building the information technology capabilities that enable the CIA’s operational and analytic missions.

Hunt has also worked in the private sector, as Managing Director and Cyber Lead for Accenture Federal Services in Arlington Virginia, and as Chief Architect for Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund.
