Donna Davis has more than 30 years of experience across various public sector disciplines including cybersecurity, environmental protection, grant and project administration, emergency management planning, housing, and economic development. In 2023, Donna joined Michigan CyberPatriot and currently serves in a leadership capacity as the organization’s Secretary/Treasurer and as a strategic outreach/planner for young adult career development. The Michigan CyberPatriot Program is a non-profit program that works to encourage middle and high school students to explore and enter Michigan-based careers in cybersecurity. Building on her decade-long cybersecurity career with the State of Michigan, Donna most recently was the Chief of Staff to the Chief Security and Chief Information Officer, helping to implement statewide cybersecurity strategies to protect public information systems and state of Michigan residents. Prior to her role as Chief of Staff, Donna served as the first Privacy and Information Security Officer for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) where she developed the department’s first formal cybersecurity program that balanced privacy, actionable and non-actionable risk and data security compliance with the public sector requirement for right/need-to-know. Donna is a huge fan of the “green and white” and a supporter of her two alma maters: Michigan State and Eastern Michigan Universities.
