General Dynamics Information Technology has appointed former FBI Deputy Assistant Director Ralph Tursi as senior director for the Law Enforcement business.
Tursi will lead strategy, program delivery and IT services to support Justice Department mission needs.
“Ralph has an outstanding track record of successfully leading homeland security and law enforcement programs across technology areas such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data analytics,” said John Ludecke, GDIT vice president and general manager of federal civilian agencies.
“His leadership and mission knowledge will be instrumental in delivering innovative technologies to our customers as they continue to accelerate their IT modernization goals,” Ludecke added.
Tursi retired from the Senior Executive Service after serving 20 years with the FBI. As the deputy assistant director of the agency’s HR division, he oversaw human capital management, strategy and customer service for more than 38,000 employees worldwide.
Prior to this role, Tursi was chief of East Asia intelligence in the agency’s counterintelligence division.
During his FBI career, Tursi served in diverse leadership and operational roles both in the U.S. and overseas, including assistant special agent in charge for the agency’s Knoxville, Tennessee, office, and the FBI’s assistant legal attaché to the U.S. ambassador of Australia. He began his career as a mechanical engineer, serving nearly 15 years with the Naval Sea Systems Command.
