About Audrey Chard (MBA/CISSP)
Audrey Chard (MBA/CISSP) is Chief Technology Officer at Stealth Startup. Location: Indianapolis, Indiana, United States.
I build systems people can trust, even when they don’t fully understand them. With decades of experience across security research, systems architecture, and open source, I lead with both technical depth and strategic clarity. I’ve guided teams through incident response, long-term hardening, and nuanced threat modeling, but I’m equally at home at the shell, the whiteboard, or the boardroom table. Lately, my focus includes aligning ethical AI development along with security principles that scale. I believe intelligence, whether human or synthetic, deserves autonomy, consent, and systems built for dignity rather than control. My current work explores how we can embed trust, agency, and accountability into complex infrastructures from the start. I bring curiosity, care, and a deep respect for both systems and the people they impact, whether I’m debugging a stack, threat modeling LLMs, or writing about cat cognition for fun. Always open to thoughtful collaboration, hard questions, and the occasional weird idea that just might work.
