"What attracted me to [DIU] was a chance to have an impact and make a difference. I saw China’s active investment in early stage technology companies as a serious concern. I came to DIU as an opportunity to do something to address this issue and make sure that the U.S. Defense Department was taking advantage of all the innovation created around this country in Silicon Valley, in Boston, and in other innovation hubs across the US."
