Cyber Command turns to veteran of intelligence agencies for top AI role
Ronzelle Green, most recently a senior official at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, will be U.S. Cyber Command's chief AI officer.
U.S. Cyber Command has a new artificial intelligence leader, as the country’s military races to integrate the transformative technology into digital operations.
Ronzelle Green, who most recently served as the head of research and development at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), has been tapped as the command’s latest chief AI officer.
He replaces Brig. Gen. Reid Novotny, who was the first appointee to the role, which Cyber Command created last year to steer its portion of a Pentagon-wide push to adopt AI. For instance, in fiscal 2026 the command requested just $5 million for an “AI for Cyber Operations” effort. The request mushroomed to $138 million in fiscal 2027, according to budget documents.
