Pete Ranks named GRVTY CSO

On February 23, GRVTY announced the appointment of Peter Ranks as chief strategy officer. In this role, Ranks will advance the company’s strategic plan, initiatives, and expansion into new mission areas.

“Pete is an exceptional addition to the GRVTY executive leadership team,” said Katie Selbe, GRVTY’s chief executive officer. “Through his service to the nation both at the Central Intelligence Agency and the Department of War, he has earned a perspective few possess. GRVTY has been growing intentionally, and Pete’s ability to anticipate and act on the nexus of strategic context, technology, and mission is second to none.”

Ranks has devoted his career to national security. Prior to GRVTY, Ranks spent 27 years at the CIA where he began his tenure as a network engineer, ultimately concluding as the first Assistant Director of the CIA for Cyber Intelligence. In prior roles, Ranks supported the CIA’s counterproliferation and counterterrorism missions and managed the Intelligence Community’s first cloud computing partnership with industry.

Additionally, he served as a Deputy Chief Information Officer at the DoW, providing leadership for the Cloud Computing Program Office and Department software modernization efforts under the DoW Chief Information Officer.

“What drew me to GRVTY is the vision and ambition of the company,” said Ranks. “We’re at a pivotal moment in our nation’s security, and GRVTY’s focus on embracing and developing the latest defense technologies, delivering field-ready mission solutions, and doing what’s in the warfighter’s best interest, all at speed and scale, is what fundamentally sets this company apart from all the rest. I am thrilled to join the team.”
