Theresa Campobasso

Theresa Campobasso is the Senior Vice President for Strategic Accounts at Exiger, where she has guided public and private organizations as they navigate the journey to predicting, mitigating, and managing risk in their physical and digital supply chains. During her 5 years at the company, she has created and scaled Exiger’s Defense Programs team, created communities of expertise in supply chain security, chemical security, and contested logistics, and most recently, established the company’s Strategic Alliance Program.

Over the past 16 years, Theresa has worked across the national security ecosystem, from service as an active-duty US Marine Corps Intelligence Officer overseas, providing counterintelligence support to special forces in Afghanistan, and supporting creation of Defense Intelligence Agency’s first Acquisition Risk Task Force, to advising the former National Background Investigation Bureau on security clearance reform.

Combining a counterintelligence background with a focus on supply chain security, Theresa has published articles, op-eds, and presentations on topics covering contested logistics, critical technology protection, and personnel risk management. A champion of comprehensive, threat-based approaches to supply chain risk management, Theresa led a team at KPMG to develop a microelectronics supply chain provenance mapping solution that, in partnership with Battelle, won a 2019 AFWERX Competition.

The value of public service and protecting national security are core beliefs that Theresa advocates. After being selected as a 2016 Rumsfeld Foundation fellow, she remained an alumni member of the foundation and served on the alumni board from 2022-2023.  She also co-chairs the INSA Insider Threat Subcommittee since 2023 after 7 years as a subcommittee member, and has moderated a series of panels related to critical technology protection and the impact of AI on insider risk and mitigation programs.

She completed her B.A. in English from the University of Notre Dame and her M.A. in Security Studies from Georgetown University’s Security Studies Program with a focus in technology & national security.  She is a Certified Insider Threat Program Manager, a member of the Chief executive women’s network, and a graduate of the Harvard Business School CORe Program. She was named a Top Supply Chain Executive to Watch in 2023 by WashingtonExec Magazine, was featured on the June 2024 cover of Technology Magazine, and is a 2024 board member of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA).
