Regional Director for Region 6

Region 6
Portrait of Kimberly Guedry, Regional Director for Region 6

Kimberly Guedry serves as the Regional Director for Region 6 of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). Headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Region 6 serves public and private sector partners across Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas to better understand, manage, and reduce risk to cyber and physical infrastructure, building a more secure and more resilient Nation.

Prior to leading CISA Region 6, Ms. Guedry served as Director of Analytic Capability at CISA’s National Risk Management Center. Akin to Chief Information Officer, she led end-to-end building of analytic models, methods, and data and their integration into risk analysis tools to support CISA and its partners in managing cyber and physical risks to our Nation’s critical infrastructure.

A retired Captain (O6) in the U.S. Coast Guard, Ms. Guedry brings over 28 collective years of leadership experience across many areas. Her roles ranged from Commanding Officer of a Coast Guard cutter during the September 11, 2001, attacks to Deputy Incident Commander for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill efforts. She led national and international search and rescue, law enforcement, and homeland security response efforts at our country’s busiest operations center. Ms. Guedry held several positions within Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security, including Chief of Operations at U.S. Southern Command's Crisis Action Center and U.S. Coast Guard Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. As Director of the Joint Reserve Detachment at the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) in Silicon Valley, Ms. Guedry led specialty reserve personnel from across all military Services in direct support of Artificial Intelligence, Autonomy, Cyber, Energy, Human Systems, and Space portfolios.

Before returning to public service, Ms. Guedry was co-founder of two startup companies, one in the AgTech industry and one in business continuity consulting. Additionally, she spent time at a global Fortune 150 telecommunications company where she was Business Information Security Officer (BISO) and Director of Business Operations.

A proud graduate of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, Ms. Guedry earned her Master of Business Administration degree while on active duty. She holds numerous certificates from National Defense University, U.S. Naval War College, and National Incident Management System. Ms. Guedry is a President George W. Bush Institute Scholar and a certified Project Management Professional.
