Admiral Curtis currently manages his own government and technology consulting business which he founded in 2002 after serving in a strategic role at Xerox Corporation and completing a long and distinguished career in the U.S. Navy. While at Xerox, Admiral Curtis was charged with developing the worldwide government strategy, implementation planning and field deployment that helped evolve the company to an industry solution approach. The Admiral’s 25-year-plus career with the U.S. Navy culminated in a position as Assistant Deputy Chief of Naval Operations, Logistics. In this role he achieved significant reduction in production time and cost as a result of developing the Department of Defense Strategic Plan for flexible computer integrated manufacturing.

He is a former CTO of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) where he provided technical and operational advice and senior technical review regarding DIA and DoD IIS information architectures, data processing, IT systems, applications, networks and communications.

He holds three masters degrees including a master of science degree in scientific and technical intelligence from Naval Postgraduate School, a master of science degree in military science from USMC University, and a master of science degree in computer science from James Madison University. Alan Wade retired from federal service in 2005 after a 35-year career in the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Early assignments at the CIA involved technical programs primarily in the areas of telecommunications and technical security. During the last 15 years of his career he held increasingly senior roles including Director of Communications, Director of Security and Chief Information Officer.
