| Info | Krystle Veda Kaul, PMP
The granddaughter of immigrants, Krystle knows firsthand the power of the American dream. She is a proud Indian American with Kashmiri and Punjabi roots and practices both Hinduism and Sikhism.
When her grandfather arrived in the United States, he came with a dream for a better life. So he got a job as an insurance agent and through hard work and perseverance, he built a great life for his family in NY.
Krystle has spent her life protecting the country that welcomed her grandparents with open arms. From US Central Command to the Pentagon with regional expertise from the Middle East to South Asia, Krystle has stood up for her country where the threats are greatest and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
A national leader in the defense and intelligence community, she has championed global counter-terrorism. Krystle served as a Director (GS-15) of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency at Department of Defense, the Director of Strategic Communications of the U.S. Air Force for General Dynamics Information Technology, and as an Intelligence Political-Military Expert at U.S. Central Command.
She has traveled to 71 countries, and speaks nine languages including Hindi, Urdu, Spanish, Arabic, Punjabi, Italian, Dari and Kashmiri. She participated in 12 foreign policy fellowships and 7 security delegations. She also holds an active Top Secret/SCI security clearance with polygraph.
Within a year of Donald Trump taking office, Secretary of Defense General Mattis resigned and Krystle also left her position shortly thereafter.
Determined to continue to make a difference, she opened a small business that assists 8(a) firms, disabled veteran and women-owned businesses, as well as medium to large companies, including McKinsey, Bain and Bank of New York Mellon in helping them to apply their technology solutions to safeguard the U.S. Committed to help U.S. manufacturing, Krystle helped to lead the Chips Act task force at Intel Corporation and collaborated with Lockheed Martin and small businesses to promote manufacturing jobs for Americans. Additionally, she teaches a course at MIT's MBA Executive Program through 2U.
A national leader in the defense and intelligence communities, a small business owner and a teacher, Krystle understands the daily struggles of the people of VA-10. She is running to keep America safe in a world that gets more dangerous every day, and to make sure the next generation of Virginians has the same opportunities her grandfather did, growing up in a country where everyone, no matter who you are or what you look like, has the chance to make a good living, raise a family, and create an American dream of their own.
Krystle graduated with a B.A. from American University and M.A. degrees from Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) and Brown University where she was working on her Ph.D in Political Science.
She lives in Ashburn, VA, and loves baking, rollerblading and spending quality time with her family and friends.
