Ms. Monaco spent four years in the White House as President Obama’s Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Advisor. She served as chair of the Cabinet-level Homeland Security Council Principals Committee, where she connected heads of key Executive Branch Cabinet departments to advise the president on homeland security issues and crises.

“Lisa Monaco knows how to navigate risks and challenges. Her wealth of experience coordinating the U.S. response to national security crises, ranging from public health pandemics to cybersecurity attacks, will be a valuable asset to our company,” said Cognosante founder and CEO Michele Kang. “We are honored that Ms. Monaco has joined our Board.”
