included one of the largest internet offerings of all time. Daniels

Assurance Team for the Commander, Naval Security Group, worked with
the National Security Agency as a technical analyst specializing in
counterintelligence threats, and served in the U.S. Navy as a
Cryptologic Officer.
Charles W. “Hoop” Hooper is considered one of
the nation’s foremost experts on global military technology. A
former Lieutenant General who retired after 41 years of service in
the U.S. Army, and current Senior Counselor with The Cohen Group in
Washington, D.C., Hooper’s expertise in strategy and partnership
development, disciplined leadership, and operations is complemented
by decades of cross-cultural experience and global insight
development. An expert in China’s military, defense industries,
foreign policy, U.S.-China military relations and Asia-Pacific
security issues, Hooper advises companies on how to successfully
navigate China’s complex business and technology landscape.
J. Michael McConnell, Vice Admiral, USN, Ret.,
is the executive director of Cyber Florida. Within his 50-year
career focused on international and foreign intelligence, McConnell
has amassed an unparalleled depth of knowledge and experience
acquired in both the public and private sectors. His 29 years as a
U.S. Navy intelligence officer included assignments that impacted
national security, including Operation Desert Storm and the
dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s. He served as
Director of the National Security Agency, and Director of National
Intelligence under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and,
more recently, as Vice Chairman of Booz Allen Hamilton.
