Aside from serving in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, she held the deputy director role at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and senior executive positions at the Central Intelligence Agency, where she helped establish the CIA’s venture arm In-Q-Tel. 

Gordon has been a member of the board since 2021, Intelligence Community News reported.
