Laura Calabria

Has supported senior U.S. government leaders in making decisions at the intersection of policy, intelligence, and translating emerging technology  into clear, defensible strategy. She has extensive experience in national security, science, and governance, where clarity of analysis and precision in language directly shape outcomes.

As Founder of Livian, a strategic writing and advisory firm, Ms. Calabria helps leaders and institutions navigate the space where technical innovation meets policy, funding, and execution. Livian partners with federally funded research centers, national laboratories, defense innovators, and executive teams to map decision pathways across DoW, DOE, DHS, and the Intelligence Community ensuring advanced research and emerging technologies are understood, prioritized, and positioned for adoption. The challenge is rarely the science; it is the translation. Livian closes that gap by producing decision-ready analysis and narrative grounded in intelligence tradecraft and policy fluency.

Her background includes senior chief of staff, strategy, and analytic leadership roles across the CIA and ODNI, leading cross-functional initiatives, established new offices, aligned policy with execution, and authored analysis for audiences ranging from senior military leaders to White House principals.
