David Spirk, Chief Data Officer of the Department of Defense

Cyber Media Forum

January 5, 2022

Moderator:  Good morning.  I’m Thom Shanker, Director of the Project for Media and National Security.  I’m happy to welcome all of you to this Cyber Media Forum discussion.

These focused cyber discussions within the Defense Writers Group format are conducted in partnership with the Howard Baker Forum and I want to thank them for their continued support.

Our guest day is David Spirk, Chief Data Officer of the Department of Defense who has a wide and critically important portfolio. 

We have a very large terrific turnout today and I’m only sorry that the current pandemic protocols prevent us from meeting in person and offering Mr. Spirk our famous bacon and eggs hotel breakfast.

As always, this discussion is on the record.  Once again, thank you, Mr. Spirk, for joining us today.

Mr. Spirk:  Thanks for having me, and thanks to everybody for taking the time.
