A veteran Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-qualified cybersecurity inspector and former Vice President of the Center for Energy Workforce Development, McAndrew-Benavides will partner with clients as they navigate nuclear regulatory compliance, digital transformation and mission execution.
With a career spanning cybersecurity initiatives, next-generation nuclear facility development and federal mission support, McAndrew-Benavides will both enhance InfraShield’s core nuclear organizational functions and support its strategic cross-sector growth.
“Elizabeth further strengthens our ability to help nuclear and critical infrastructure organizations navigate evolving cyber risk, cloud adoption, AI transformation, and regulatory challenges,” Mark Rorabaugh, InfraShield President and CEO, said. “Her background positions her to advise clients at the intersection of compliance, secure digital transformation and mission execution.”
McAndrew-Benavides brings to InfraShield’s growing client base expertise in cloud transformation initiatives across the energy, defense and intelligence sectors.
