Iron Butterfly

Booking Overview

Women-focused national security and intelligence interview show featuring accomplished women from government, defense, intelligence, and related technical fields. A PR agency could credibly pitch senior intelligence and defense leaders, former government officials, national-security experts, and women with distinctive careers in security-related technology; booking is likely high-difficulty because guests typically hold substantial leadership experience and specialized credentials.
