Asha Rangappa teaches national security law at Yale University's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and served as a Special Agent in the FBI's counterintelligence division, where she investigated foreign threats and conducted undercover operations.
Asha graduated cum laude from Princeton and earned her law degree from Yale Law School, where she was a Coker Fellow in constitutional law. She has provided legal and national security analysis for CNN and ABC News, and her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Her first book, UNCOMPROMISED: Activating Your Moral Compass in an Age of Complicity, will be published in 2028.
Asha translates complex intelligence operations and legal frameworks into practical guidance for organizations navigating cybersecurity threats, ethical decision-making, and leadership challenges. Her FBI training in surveillance, interrogation, and threat assessment informs her analysis of how complicit systems develop within organizations and why individuals either enable misconduct or find the courage to stop it.
Audiences learn to identify structural vulnerabilities in their organizations before problems escalate, understand the psychology behind complicity and resistance, and develop frameworks for ethical decision-making in an era of artificial intelligence and information warfare. Her presentations combine case studies from Theranos, the CIA, and law enforcement with actionable strategies for building accountability.
Book Asha to help your organization build resilience against internal corruption and external threats through informed, principled leadership.
