My Story
Emerging risk & global strategy executive. Reservist. Photographer. Explorer. Husband & father.
From Silicon Valley roots in enterprise software development and product marketing to disaster response to the shadows of the U.S. Intelligence Community, Dan Trimble has developed an uncommon base of expertise and a reputation for destroying silos and building consensus around emerging threats. His background is diverse, yet fuses in ways that help leaders crystalize a holistic understanding of how cyber, climate, AI, and other emerging risks affect their organization's complex ecosystem of industries and stakeholders.
Dan is an award-winning global leader, technologist, strategist, and storyteller. His work for the U.S. Government has encompassed service as a senior leader in strategy development and partnerships across the Indo-Pacific; the deputy in charge of a premier cyber intelligence center at U.S. Cyber Command; leadership of a wide range of critical infrastructure and cyber threats teams for multiple agencies; and policy and operational response work for natural and manmade disasters. He has helped shape national strategy and policy and served in national fellowships focused on innovative public/private partnership models and senior leadership in emerging threats. In an earlier life, he helped manage numerous Fortune 500 and startup tech product lines.
A sixth generation Californian, Dan is also a published photographer and explorer, and loves to cook and write. More than anything else, he is Andrew and Alexander's dad and Heather's husband. He is a student of international business, public administration, public policy, and national security and has studied at Golden Gate University, Naval War College, National Defense University, and National Intelligence University.
