About Glenn Rioux

Glenn Rioux is Chief Technology Officer at Riveter Defense. Location: Patuxent River, Maryland, United States.

I am a technology and engineering executive with experience across defense systems, cybersecurity, aviation test, and mission-focused leadership in complex environments. I recently joined Riveter Defense LLC as Chief Technology Officer after retiring from the U.S. Navy as a Captain. Throughout my career, I’ve led multidisciplinary teams across engineering, cyber, test and evaluation, and mission systems — from enterprise strategy to execution. I started in enlisted service as an Electronics Technician, which gave me a strong hands-on foundation in radar, communications, and electronic systems before commissioning and moving into senior leadership roles. Today, I focus on turning mission and business goals into executable technical strategy, building high-performing teams, and delivering practical results.
