WASHINGTON, D.C. – Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines today issued the following statement:

I have had the great pleasure of working with him in his role as the J2 for the Chairman, and I have found him to be a leader with integrity and passion. An expert strategist and consummate intelligence professional, he will lead NGA's spectacular workforce into the future at a time when its role in our national security could not be more critical.

 

"I also offer my deep appreciation to Vice Admiral Robert Sharp for his extraordinary contributions to and leadership in the Intelligence Community. His investments in the NGA workforce and passion for our work is world-renowned – he simply makes everyone around him better. Bob is one of the most exceptional and talented people I've had the pleasure of working with, and we wish him a very happy retirement."
