Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) announced today that strategic cyber operations expert Raynor Dahlquist has rejoined the firm as a senior vice president within the firm’s national security business to help lead Booz Allen’s national cyber strategy. As a senior cyber executive leading Booz Allen’s Full-Spectrum Cyber Operations business supporting the defense and intelligence communities, Dahlquist oversees teams across the firm’s defense and national security businesses, delivering a full spectrum of cyber solutions to protect against advanced adversaries.

“Raynor’s extensive and multifaceted background in strategic cyber operations and policy will be an asset to our clients as we deliver a full spectrum of cyber solutions to transform U.S. national cyber capabilities,” said Judi Dotson, executive vice president and leader of Booz Allen’s national security business. “We are thrilled to have a driven leader like Raynor return to Booz Allen, as she will be a critical part of our firmwide efforts to expand the nation’s global competitive advantage and take a stand against its adversaries.”
