Christopher “Todd” Doss is a Managing Director at Ankura with more than

35 years of experience in law enforcement. Todd is a senior executive

with proven ability to lead global security, criminal, counterterrorism,

counterintelligence, cyber, and intelligence operations in high-risk,

complex environments. He links results-oriented solutions to critical

incidents worldwide by partnering and collaborating and builds global

teams to effectively address complex and politically challenging

investigations. He also develops and presents strategies for effective

solutions. He is based in Washington, DC.

Todd’s professional experience includes:

• Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Crime Laboratory:

directed large, complex programs with more than 40 management

staff members, 1,100 special agents and professional personnel,

and a more than $100 million budget to provide global, strategic,

operational, investigative, and infrastructure support to the US

intelligence and law enforcement communities.

• Established the sole government facility dedicated to researching,

manufacturing, testing, and characterizing homemade explosives

and devices. The facility analyzes immediate and on-the-horizon

threats by testing their properties, and then generates authoritative

information to detect and prevent their use by terrorists. The facility

works with Transportation Security Administration to improve

airport screening tools.

• Partnered with government agencies, industry, and Congress to

develop a rapid DNA (hands-free) capability to develop a profile

from an arrestee in less than two hours. Created the

implementation plan to link these instruments to allow searching

of the Combined DNA Index System from authorized booking

stations throughout the US.

• Reduced the FBI Laboratory Division’s budget and staffing by $20

million and 104 positions (15 percent), respectively, while

maintaining established productivity levels.

• Designed and implemented the FBI’s Data Integration and

Visualization System, which — for the first time in the FBI’s history

— provided a single sign-on search capability across more than 100

intelligence data sets contained in multiple, disparate systems. Leveraged an agile

development approach and strategy to successfully achieve customer buy-in and participation

with the system. DIVS is now the primary data search tool used by the FBI.

• Successfully transitioned the nation’s largest forensic laboratory from a paper-based evidence

and case management process to an electronic system designed to record forensic analysis

throughout the examination life cycle. The effort was phased into operation over a four-year

period and resulted in a significant reduction to the administrative workload of laboratory

personnel.

• Led the consolidation of two major enterprise wide data systems used to analyze National

Security intelligence into one system, which resulted in the FBI saving approximately $10

million and minimizing the risk of overlooking key segments of intelligence.

• Significantly enhanced the sharing of digital media with other USIC partners by implementing

an automated process that met dozens of interagency legal and security requirements and

expedited the sharing of intelligence.

• Developed and implemented a strategy that positioned the Terrorist Explosive Device and

Analytic Center as the single US government center and repository of improvised explosive

devices. He also expanded partner engagement, increasing the number of agencies with

personnel assigned to TEDAC by 50 percent.

• Led the FBI’s strategy and relocation of TEDAC from Quantico to Huntsville. Facilities will be

constructed in four phases; operations were downsized from more than 600 personnel to 265

to meet current requirements; and approximately 245 personnel relocated to Alabama.

• Deployed hundreds of investigative personnel to conduct extraterritorial and international

investigations around the globe, often resolving complex logistical matters and diversity in

operating environments that were encountered from country to country. Successfully

conducted operations abroad while maintaining the safety and security of all investigative

personnel (e.g., deployed personnel to a Ukrainian war zone to investigate the Malaysian

airliner shot down by a missile).

• Selected twice by the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to serve as the federal

coordinator for the Kentucky Derby; established a federal incident management, security, and

response plan for coordinating communications among federal, state, and local first

responders. Also led the FBI’s federal incident management and security assistance activities

across the spectrum of prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.

• Led national forensic investigative efforts, deployed staff, and secured financial resources to

support major FBI investigations (e.g., the Boston Marathon bombing, the Washington Navy

Yard attack, Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting, San Bernardino attack, Mandalay Bay

shooting in Las Vegas).

• Ran a program that managed more than 1,500 evidence response team members across the

FBI.
