Applied Information Sciences (AIS) has appointed Letitia “Tish” Long, former director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and 2020 Wash100 Award recipient, to the company’s board of directors, AIS announced Tuesday.

“Tish’s impact in the defense and intelligence community is unmatched,” said Larry Katzman, president and CEO, AIS. “Her industry and board experience will foster our continued growth in the Federal IT market and support the delivery of mission-critical cloud solutions to better serve our defense and intelligence customers.”

Prior to joining the board, Long has served in various leadership positions across the NGA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the Department of Defense (DoD). Since she began her federal career with the U.S. Navy, Long has served as the deputy director of Naval Intelligence and was the first chief information officer for the DIA.

Long retired as the fifth director of the NGA, and the first woman to lead a U.S. intelligence agency, after driving transformational cloud computing initiatives that provided advanced capabilities across geospatial intelligence.
