Enlightenment Capital engages with former DHS chief

Enlightenment Capital, the government market investment firm, said Wednesday it has started to engage former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to provide legal advice and counsel.

Johnson is a lawyer in private practice at the firm Paul, Weiss and is also a former general counsel for the Defense Department. His government service career also includes roles such as general counsel for the Department of the Air Force and assistant U.S. attorney in New York’s southern district.

"His decades of legal practice, service, and leadership offer a wealth of experience to our team as we work to build best-of-breed national security and mission critical technology companies,” said Devin Talbott, founder and managing partner of Enlightenment Capital in a release.
