Isham said she’s excited to continue her longstanding relationship with Arlington Capital Partners as chair of the board.
“Tyto is a very exciting company with experience and capabilities that have a significant impact for National Security and across Government more broadly,” she said. “I look forward to working closely with the Executive Team, the Tyto Athene Board, and long term relationships to help execute Tyto’s strategy.”
