For Dr. Ebony Grey, cybersecurity isn’t just about protecting systems—it’s about securing futures. As a Service-Disabled Air Force Veteran, CEO, strategic planner, and community advocate, Dr. Grey has dedicated her life to empowering others, safeguarding organizations, and championing those often overlooked.
Reflecting on her journey, Dr. Grey highlights a defining moment: “Serving on the Interagency Commission on Homelessness and helping Montgomery County achieve functional zero for veteran homelessness was life-changing,” she shares. This achievement, housing over 50 veterans and their families in under a year, speaks to her core belief in actionable leadership.
Her perspective on leadership has evolved alongside her work in cybersecurity and public service. “Leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about impact,” Dr. Grey explains. Whether steering Grey’s Consulting Group to secure over $350 million in grant funding or co-chairing community boards, she leads with both heart and strategy. Her guidance ensures that small businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies not only survive but thrive.
Asked how she balances her expansive roles, Dr. Grey is quick to credit discipline and passion. “Service fuels me,” she says. From co-owning Grey’s Handyman Services with her husband to hosting Elevate Women Veterans Radio Show, her work transcends industries and borders. As a certified coach and trainer, she equips federal employees, veterans, and entrepreneurs with the tools to transform their careers and communities.
Dr. Grey’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and service—a beacon for women, especially women of color, striving to break barriers and build legacies.
