Recently named one of Maryland’s Most Influential People, Ms. Hill will speak on innovation, national security, and how she has helped grow Lockheed Martin’s cyber security business.
“I have spent my career in executive roles at Lockheed Martin facilities in the state, leading teams throughout Maryland who contribute so significantly to our nation’s security – through development of vertical launching systems, and ensuring our nation’s networks are safe from cyber threats,” said Hill, who joined Lockheed Martin in 1987 as a software engineer. –– From The Daily Record 2017 Influential Marylanders
