About Whitney Pettrey
Whitney Pettrey advances national resilience at the nexus of infrastructure, cyber-physical systems, and executive coordination. With more than two decades of experience across classified, critical, and command environments, her work reinforces the frameworks that sustain continuity under pressure and align leadership in moments of disruption.
Her portfolio includes contributions to strategic simulations, multi-sector continuity protocols, adversarial readiness frameworks, and executive decision environments—each engineered to function reliably in high-consequence conditions. She has operated across federal and private sectors with a consistent mandate: secure systems performance, structured response coordination, and scenario-based preparedness.
Whitney’s methodology is defined by discretion, clarity, and uncompromising mission alignment—supporting leaders and infrastructures where outcomes outweigh optics.
Core Focus Areas
Infrastructure Continuity & Cross-Sector Resilience
Architecting and advising on the systems that preserve essential services—energy, transit, logistics, and communications—through sustained crises or sudden disruption.
Executive Coordination & Crisis Decision Architecture
Designing escalation pathways, timing models, and synchronization protocols that enable leaders to act decisively under operational strain.
Cyber-Physical Convergence & Systems Risk
Evaluating interdependencies between digital and physical infrastructures to mitigate systemic vulnerabilities and reinforce response integrity.
Scenario Development & Strategic Simulation
Constructing red/blue team environments, exercises, and readiness protocols that surface risks, test assumptions, and strengthen cross-sector alignment.
Adversarial Planning & Threat Anticipation
Applying structured adversarial modeling to anticipate escalation patterns, expose operational weak points, and identify emerging threat vectors.
Current and Ongoing Work
Whitney remains actively engaged with trusted coordination environments focused on infrastructure resilience, executive synchronization, and cyber-physical continuity. Her contributions extend to decision frameworks, operational playbooks, and advanced simulations that preserve performance across complex and contested landscapes.
She collaborates within select information-sharing groups and strategic alliances, including ISACs and initiatives aligned with national imperatives such as the Capitol Cyber Initiative (CCI). While not engaged in public mentorship, these ecosystems serve as disciplined channels for knowledge transfer, operational readiness, and leadership development.
Engagement
Whitney does not participate in public speaking, media appearances, or open advisory forums. Engagements are restricted to high-trust operational environments with established clearance or credentialed access. Secure inquiries may be initiated exclusively through formal channels.
