A 45-minute drop-in conversation with Melissa Oh, who spent nearly a decade building and running the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate's Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP)... the mechanism designed to bring non-traditional tech companies into the homeland security ecosystem.
