Schrenk has been on the leading edge of GEOINT tradecraft for most of her career, including more than 25 years in a variety of leadership and analytic positions at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as well as in commercial, nonprofit, and academic organizations.

“Ronda brings a unique combination of mission acumen, government and non-profit management experience and deep tradecraft expertise which will serve the foundation well as we navigate through this next chapter,” says USGIF BOD Chairman Roger Mason. “She enjoys the full support of the board and we look forward to working with her and the leadership in this new capacity.”
