Long has led NGA since 2010, when she became the first woman to lead an intelligence agency.
She also served as deputy director at DIA and CIO at DIA.
“Tish Long and Robert Cardillo both have led the transformation of intelligence to address the complex global strategic challenges we face as a nation. They both have ensured intelligence is relevant to the needs of its important customers – from the president to the warfighter, said Mike Vickers, undersecretary of defense for intelligence.
