Juliane Gallina’s Career Background
Gallina has extensive experience in both the public and private sectors.

Juliane Gallina’s Innovation Goals
While serving in her previous role, Gallina revealed her top five technology priority areas in a September 2022 video interview with Executive Mosaic. These points of focus include:
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning
- Blockchain and cryptocurrency
- Biotechnology
- Microelectronics
- Next-generation communications
Though these technologies offer many benefits for the United States, she noted that they are also “avenues for adversaries to disrupt American global economic superiority or strength, and they’re seeking to undermine it.”
