Richard (Dick) Palmieri’s Post

Attending TechNet Cyber in Baltimore has been an enriching experience so far. Engaging discussions with senior leaders like Gen Haugh from USCYBERCOM and Lt Gen Skinner from DISA have shed light on crucial topics like cyber defense and pacing threats in the Pacific. The networking opportunities have been outstanding, reconnecting with old friends and making new connections. This year, I’m proud to have received AFCEA International’s prestigious Leadership Award. As a 35-year active member, I’ve had fantastic and challenging opportunities to advance STEM goals as well as synchronize government and industry connections to foster warfighting capability. What a great value proposition! Looking forward to Technet IndoPacific on October 22-24 at the Hawaii Convention Center. This premier show will focus on USINDOPACOM requirements and priorities, addressing complex cyber and IT challenges in a variety of mission areas like joint fires/C2 and contested logistics. Excited to explore innovative solutions for various avenues of warfighting. #TechNetCyber #TechNetIndoPacific #CyberSecurity #Networking #USINDOPACOM #CyberDefense #ITChallenges Michael Black Brandon Lester

Reflecting on my first year with Booz Allen Hamilton. Super impressed with solid and insightful leadership, great values, and no shortage of passionate, smart, driven people. They’ve given me a whole new view of strategy and growth for global defense and national security, and I’ve been part of technical and capture opportunities, for IndoPacific and more. Thanks to Bill Hilsman in particular for his trust in me 🤙🏼. I’m looking forward to a great year ahead! (There are roles in Hawaii and beyond at most levels and a variety of skills. If you’re interested, look at BAH job postings or give me a shout and I’ll connect you where I can. ) William Hilsman Patrick McDonnell Vernon Isaacs Brandon Lester Aubrey Rupinta, Esq., PMP Edward Barnabas Robert Lietzke Rex Jordan

Excited to be attending Technet Cyber soon! Conference lineup is once again exceptional, and I’ll be participating in AFCEA’s Presidents meeting. Give a shout if there’s a chance to connect

Interested in hearing the Navy’s strategy and challenges in the Indo-Pacific? Come hear directly from CAPT Erik Pittman!

Lucky to spend time with Lt Gen Robert Skinner today at #afceawest2024 . DISA continues to evolve to deliver complex IT/Cyber capabilities to the warfighter. Bonus time with Don "Thunder" Cloud !

Truly appreciated keynote remarks from ADM Paparo this morning at #afceawest2024. Don’t be satisfied with the pace of change; decision superiority required in strategic competition; must advance on the ‘4 battlegrounds’; and other driving concepts where DoD and vendors must align, produce, integrate.

Looking forward to a great week in San Diego. #AFCEA WEST has begun, and added bonus to sit in some Dept of Navy IT sessions. Have already seen dozens of friends, and looking forward to more 🤙🏼 Give me a shout if you want to talk Indo-Pacific or cyber/IT/mission challenges and opportunities.
