Marina Nitze has held some of the most senior roles in federal government without a college degree. She was the first Entrepreneur-in-Residence at the U.S. Department of Education and also the youngest-ever C-suite executive in the federal government, taking on the role of the first female federal agency CTO at 28. She is currently a partner in the crisis management firm Layer Aleph where, multiple times per year, her team is called into high stakes environments to rapidly de-escalate technology-related crises.
