Michael “Strike” Messer, Senior Program Director
ICF Incorporated

For over 30 years, Mr. Michael “Strike” Messer has worked in contract and military settings as a project and program manager (PM), cyber professional, senior military officer, and master aviator. His career includes 30 years of managing programs and projects—from initial concept through final product acceptance—including a range of assessment, tracking, documentation, messaging, planning, and staffing activities to ensure successful performance. Mr. Messer has coordinated and overseen the execution of high-priority cyber initiatives with values up to $120M and with the involvement of multiple organizations, stakeholders, and funding streams. While Chief of Operations at U.S. Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM), he led DoD’s Cyber Joint Operations Center (JOC), as well as a National Emergency Cyber Actions Procedures project involving departments and agencies from across the federal government. Mr. Messer’s leadership resulted in JOC’s first-ever process for a collaborative, synergistic response to a national cyber crisis. As Program Manager (PM) on ICF’s Defensive Cyber Operations (DCO) contract with the Army, he led the team in monitoring and securing over 300 subscriber networks and led the team to top Cyber Security Service Provider (CSSP) recognition out of the 26 CSSPs supporting the DoD.
