Schuyler Moore

Most Inspiring Up-and-Comer

Schuyler Moore, the chief technology officer for U.S. Central Command, is perhaps an up-and-comer only in that she’s still relatively early on in her career. But in the less than a decade since she graduated from Harvard with her bachelor’s degree in political science, she’s gone on to quickly rise through the ranks of the Department of Defense and was recognized in 2021 on Forbes’ Top 30 Under 30 list. As such, her resume reads like that of a DOD official who’s been serving twice as long: Senior Defense & Foreign Policy Advisor for the U.S. House of Representatives, Chief Strategy Officer for the Navy’s Task Force 59, and CTO for Centcom, all while serving as an intelligence officer for the U.S. Navy Reserve. And in her current role, she’s been a pivotal part of Centcom adopting modern, innovative technologies in a critical area of responsibility.
