Our Leadership

Proven operators with decades of experience at the highest levels of cyber operations

Matthew "Jerry" Glavy

Chief Executive Officer

Lieutenant General, U.S. Marine Corps (Retired)

Lieutenant General Glavy brings over 39 years of experience operating in the most challenging domains of air, sea, space, and cyberspace. From numerous deployments with Marine Expeditionary Units around the world to strategic operations at the highest levels of national security, his career represents an unmatched combination of operational credibility and technical expertise.

As Commanding Officer of Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), he served as the President's helicopter pilot, ensuring safe and timely movement of the Commander-in-Chief aboard Marine One. As Commander of U.S. Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command, he led the transformation of global network operations, commanded Joint Task Force ARES executing offensive cyber operations, oversaw construction of a $200M cyberspace operations facility, and grew the command to a 3,000-person fighting force. He then stood up and led U.S. Marine Corps Forces Space Command, bringing the Marine Corps into the space domain.

His final assignment as Deputy Commandant for Information gave him responsibility for modernizing the Marine Corps Enterprise Network with hybrid cloud infrastructure integrating AI and machine learning capabilities, transforming the ISR enterprise, and managing a $3 billion annual budget. Today, he brings this wealth of operational experience to help organizations fight smarter against evolving cyber threats.

Jon Rannabargar

Chief Operating Officer

U.S. Marine Corps

As COO, Jon turns Fighting Smart Cyber's mission into delivered outcomes. He brings over a decade in the DoD cyberspace and intelligence community — spanning defensive cyber operations, signals intelligence, linguistics, and capability development — from hands-on operator on a Cyber Protection Team to managing multi-million dollar capability programs.

He has led agile delivery at every level: Release Train Engineer, Product Manager, Scrum Master, and Agile Coach. Today, he remains a builder at heart, developing resilient DevSecOps platforms, cyber range orchestration environments, and agentic AI capabilities, all offline-first by design and engineered to run anywhere from the cloud to the disconnected tactical edge. That combination — operator's instincts, executive's discipline, engineer's hands — is how FSC ships what others only scope.

Key Experience

  • Program direction — multi-million dollar cyber capabilities, from requirement to fielding
  • Agile delivery at every level — Release Train Engineer, Product Manager, Scrum Master, and Agile Coach (SAFe®)
  • Cyber range & adversary emulation — containerized orchestration platforms for threat-informed training and mission rehearsal
  • Secure platform delivery — DevSecOps platforms built for cloud and disconnected DDIL/tactical environments
  • Agentic AI solutions — automation that streamlines complex workflows, accelerates delivery, and multiplies small-team output
  • Joint exercises & experimentation — CJADC2 integration validation, enabled by enterprise network and global VPN architecture built for remote ops
