Gabrielle Fong is a former U.S. Navy surface warfare officer who drove warships and later served in Naval Intelligence at the Navy's cyber and space headquarters, giving her direct exposure to front-line cyber threats that now informs how she evaluates security technology investments at First In. She continues serving as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve part-time at the Pentagon while investing, creating an unusually tight feedback loop between operational intelligence work and venture capital decisions.
