Michael Chervenyak

I've led cyber operations and training for U.S. Special Operations Command's Joint Cyber Operations Group, supporting no-fail missions across the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.

As a Cyber Targeting Officer, I led teams and coordinated with multiple agencies to plan and execute cyber operations, identify target-system vulnerabilities, and gather foreign intelligence. I also briefed executive technical and non-technical audiences and deployed to the Middle East as a sole command representative coordinating cyber capabilities with U.S. Government entities and foreign partners.

In my current Business Operations and Training Manager role, I resolve operational impediments, build training tracks for new employees, and strengthen stakeholder relationships. I also deployed forward for 120 days as a Mission Leader advising a small task force on cyber capabilities and effects.

Earlier, I supported the National Security Agency by converting raw data into usable intelligence for threat awareness, force protection, and contingency operations. I'm a U.S. Navy veteran with nine years of full-spectrum cyber operations, cyber threat intelligence, and leadership experience.
