  Emily Clise Tully is the Senior Director of National Security at Ginkgo Bioworks and a Visiting Fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution, working at the intersection of national security and emerging tech.  She helps the international and US national security communities understand and incorporate biotechnologies.  From 2018-2022, she served on the Senate Intelligence Committee, working to reorient the post-9/11 national security community to America’s emerging strategic conflict with the Chinese Communist Party, profoundly shaped by technology. Prior to her time in the Senate, Emily spent nearly a decade at the CIA, where she wrote for the president as a political analyst, served a warzone tour, and served in leadership positions in the Director’s Area in the Office of Public Affairs and Congressional Affairs.  A Carnegie Mellon University graduate and proud native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she lives in Washington, DC with her family.
