In this OODAcast, OODA LLC CEO Matt Devost interviews
Congressman Will Hurd in a wide ranging discussion that touches on
issues of geopolitical risk, cybersecurity, cyber risk and ways to
help ensure our nation is prepared to compete and win in an age of
rapid technological innovation. Quantum Computing, Artificial
Intelligence, Advanced Communications (5G) and other mega-trends of
technology are examined, as well as insights into leadership in the
modern world.
Will Hurd, a San Antonio native and Texas A&M Computer
Science Graduate, never planned on being a member of Congress.
Congressman Hurd was excited to spend his entire career serving his
country by stopping terrorists, preventing Russian spies from
stealing our secrets and putting nuclear weapons proliferators out
of business as an undercover officer in the CIA, until he realized
that his expertise in cybersecurity and intelligence was sorely
needed in Congress – the people charged with making informed
decisions about how to serve and protect our country. Since being
elected in 2014, Will has continued to blaze his own trail to
deliver bipartisan results for the 800,000 Texans he calls his
“bosses” by working with anyone – regardless of politics and party
to help make sure our kids are ready for the future, that our
country is safe and that the United States will always be the
leader of the free world. Texas Monthly and Politico Magazine have
called him “the Future of the GOP.” His efforts to put good policy
over good politics have clearly struck a chord in a country that is
often consumed with what divides us instead of what unites us.
