Altamira Technologies has hired Cassie Kurtz as vice president for its Defense Scientific and Intelligence business.
“I am thrilled with the addition of Cassie Kurtz as our new Defense S&TI Vice President,” said Jane Chappell, CEO of Altamira Technologies. “Her exceptional leadership and deep expertise in ISR and advanced defense technologies will be invaluable as we continue to innovate and deliver cutting-edge solutions to our mission customers.”
Kurtz has nearly 25 years of experience in defense intelligence, ISR modernization and enterprise program delivery. She spent almost two decades at Booz Allen Hamilton, most recently leading European intelligence programs from the U.K. She also directed Army intelligence programs across the Pacific and in the U.S. and helped launch ISR modernization initiatives at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center.
“It’s rare to find an opportunity that brings mission, leadership, and regional roots together so clearly,” Kurtz said. “I’m excited to join a team that’s so deeply invested in its people and the clients we serve—and to return to where my passion for the Intelligence mission first took root.”
