Octo's board adds former NGA director

Octo said Tuesday its board of directors has elected a new member in Letitia “Tish” Long, the former director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

Long holds the distinction of being the first woman to lead a U.S. intelligence agency. She is currently chairman of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance’s board of directors.

She is joining Octo to help further shape the company’s focus on the intelligence community, a strategy that included the acquisition of Connexta in 2019 to add new data discovery software used by IC agencies and international partners.
