In this week’s episode, we visit with Joyce Hunter. Joyce is the former Deputy CIO of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and currently the Executive Director of ICIT, the leading cybersecurity think tank. 

Joyce speaks freely of her wide career path, one that has taken her from the White House to starting an agriculture data camp to leading cybersecurity policy, and the obstacles she had to overcome along the way. One of the few women in her field during the late 1990s, Joyce has been on the front lines of the growth of data science as a discipline and open data as a concept—and has been the inspiration of women who pursue a wide range of STEM-based fields.
