“Thomas was instrumental in getting the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence operational in it's initial home on the University of Maryland campus. As NCCoE developed its scope, the relationship was one that was very fluid initially, with a bevy of state and federal interests to maintain. Despite the complexity of the situation, Thomas helped represent NCCoE's interests in a way that was respectful of the university's concerns and focused on finding efficient and mutually beneficial solutions.”
