Winston Beauchamp has taken on the role of director of security, special program oversight and information protection at U.S. Department of the Air Force.
The DAF official announced his new job on LinkedIn, where he also expressed gratitude to colleagues and partners from industry, with whom he had worked while serving as DAF deputy chief information officer, a position he held for nearly four years.
Beauchamp said he was especially thankful to former DAF CIO and past Wash100 winner Lauren Knausenberger and current DAF CIO Venice Goodwine, whom he described as “the exact leaders the DAF needed at the time.”
Beauchamp has held other roles within the Air Force, including enterprise IT director within the Office of the Deputy CIO. He has also been part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, Lockheed Martin and GE Aerospace.
