Prior to co-founding Xcira, Rabenold was the senior program manager for IBM’s Federal System Division where she had program management responsibilities for such platforms as NASA’s Space Shuttle, the Harpoon and Tomahawk missile program and the Trident submarine. She also was involved with various collaborative programs with esteemed generals, admirals and colonels of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force.
