Dr. Stacey Dixon: Serene

Iron Butterfly

This week on the Iron Butterfly, we sat down with Dr. Stacey Dixon, Deputy Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). In this episode, Stacey takes us along her path from academia to the intelligence community, which included stints on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) staff and as the Director of the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA). She shares how her STEM background helped her land multiple roles throughout her career, the importance of making elevator connections, why she loves not being the smartest person in the room, and how fear inspires you to do better. Listen in as Dr. Dixon talks about how she gets to “yes.”
