The Innovation Gap

Former NSA Chief of Innovation Kevin Keaton left his government job last year – before the age of retirement - to accept a role as a founding partner at a venture capital firm. Today, he's focused on closing a gap between government and the private sector that he believes is a serious issue when it comes to U.S. national security. In his first podcast interview since leaving government, State Secrets sat down with Keaton to talk about what he sees as the 'innovation gap', China is exploiting it, and how he's now working from the private sector, to try and close it.
