Why Watch
Securely converging classified networks was a priority for McCaffrey and her team last year. In 2022, they will focus on the maturity of each network, the conversion of users and working with customers on other efforts supporting every evolution of the “factory of the future.”
McCaffrey has been a leading force in helping Northrop Grumman to deliver capability for classified converged networks, which prioritize strategy, customer engagement and enterprise process agility to operationalize and scale and are key enablers in support of customers.
And as McCaffrey said, “Pay it forward; make the organization better than you found it.”
