Mitre Corp.’s board of trustees that oversees the nonprofit research-and-development firm has added a new member in Sue Gordon, the retired principal deputy director of national intelligence.

“Sue’s expertise will help Mitre advance integration and innovation across the intelligence community, strengthening our whole-of-nation approach to national security,” Mitre CEO Jason Providakes said in a release Thursday.
