Peter O’Donoghue’s biggest accomplishment since joining Tyto Athene has been building a CTO organization aligned with the company’s strategic goals, with a focus on M&A and team development. He helped lead the acquisition of MindPoint Group, adding top cyber and automation capabilities, rebuilt the New Business Solutions team, and launched an innovation lab, creating a deep bench strong enough to compete with any firm around the Beltway.
“It’s truly a privilege to lead Tyto’s CTO team during this time of extraordinary innovation and transformation,” he said. “I’m grateful to work alongside such exceptional engineering talent, capable of rapidly integrating and applying modern AI, cloud, networking, cyber and post-quantum technologies with a relentless focus on delivering secure mission outcomes for our warfighting and national security customers.”
