Sean Lyngaas writes Edwards has worked on the technical operations and engineering aspect of CIA for nearly 15 years before he joined the private sector.
He previously served as a consultant for Accenture and an executive at Agilex Technologies, which Accenture’s federal services business acquired in 2015.
Edwards succeeded Doug Wolfe, who has been appointed to a new senior CIA position, the report said.
Wolfe was instrumental in the Intelligence Communityâs transition to a cloud computing platform built by Amazon Web Services, Lyngaas reports.
