05 Nov 2025

Description

Join Dr. Arun Seraphin at the 2025 Women in Defense (WID) Conference for a conversation with Michelle Letcher, retired U.S. Army Brigadier General and CEO of Break Trail, exploring the critical landscape of women in security. Letcher provides profound insights into the evolving nature of modern warfare, emphasizing how traditional defense strategies fail to address borderless conflicts involving cyber influence, election interference, and social media disinformation campaigns.Drawing from her 30-year military career, she advocates for women in national security roles by creating networking opportunities, supporting young professionals, and challenging existing workplace barriers. She highlights the importance of mentorship, representation, and leveraging the entire nation's talent pool and explains how this inclusion provides new perspectives, which enables more versatile approaches to addressing complex national security challenges and evolving warfare strategies. The discussion stresses the urgent need to challenge existing assumptions about women in defense, create supportive professional environments, and prepare for complex, technology-driven national security challenges that extend beyond traditional military boundaries.Be sure to follow us on social media for updates, early access to upcoming events, inside scoops, & more:LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4htROo0Twitter: https://bit.ly/48LHAx3Facebook: https://bit.ly/47vlht8 And for more podcasts, articles, & publications all things emerging tech, check out our website at: https://bit.ly/47oA5K1
