Dan McCoy is the Head of Business Development for BMNT, an innovation consultancy and  early-stage technology incubator that helps solve some of the hardest problems facing  governments and partners. Prior to joining BMNT, Dan served as the Chief Innovation Officer for the Transportation  Security Administration (TSA), where he established the TSA Innovation team, published a first in-government “TSA Innovation Doctrine'' to create lasting guidance on how to think and act to  enable broad transformative thinking. To enable ecosystem-wide, democratized innovation and  establish organizational ambidexterity, Dan’s team announced four distinct capabilities under  the Innovation group to support projects through the Innovation Pipeline. One such group, LIFT,  set airport-based, trained innovators which source, curate, and discover solutions based on  localized problem statements in partnership with local vendors, partners, and solution  providers. Dan’s experience and expertise at TSA was shaped by his prior roles at Deloitte Consulting’s  Government and Public Services group. In 2018, Dan and others created Deloitte Catalyst, the  firm's newest innovation function. Leading the Catalyst GPS function, Dan worked with pre IPO startups in AI, predictive maintenance, deep-fake detection, and other domains to create  MVPs for government missions. Dan has the distinction of having created the first-in-government innovation doctrine at the agency. More about that effort here and here.
