Roger Anderson has been involved in intelligence-related activities his entire career. In the 1980s, he worked on Department of Defense TIARA programs while at the Georgia Tech Research Institute. He then joined the CIA and spent 15 years there, working on all of the NFIP programs with the primary focus on SIGINT and technical collection missions. As a SIGINT-focused officer, Anderson worked with the NSA and completed three tours there. He took early retirement in 2002 and has since been a contractor. His contractor roles have included executive vice president for Mnemonics, Inc., and senior executive account manager for Harris Corporation’s largest IC account. A former coworker at Harris who had previously joined AST asked if Anderson would be interested in building a new AST business unit focused on cyber. “The opportunity appeared interesting, so I joined them,” Anderson said.
