I don't know Brett super well so I can't speak to the rest of his background, but it's not correct that the Obama admin asked him to take over DDS.

DDS's founding head was Chris Lynch, who served in that role until the middle of the Trump administration, when he left government service and that's when Brett got the job.

There ya go. +/- details.

I saw him present on DDS and his backstory at BSidesLV a few years ago and did a bit of non-profit govt<>tech chatter with the team there.

Correct, it was in the middle of the Trump Admin.
