Figure A. After the Air Force, Hutchison took a leadership role in the U.S. Cyber Command, where he oversaw the first joint, force-on-force tactical cyber training exercise Cyber Flag.

He built a team that launched the first cyber adversary tactics office, founded the first joint cyber-focused tabletop exercise and established an inaugural cybersecurity team certification.

Hutchison's next move was to the private sector, where he and members of his Cyber Command team co-founded the cyber range company SimSpace in 2015.

Using digital twins, bots and other automation - not to mention squads of human white hat operators - SimSpace has been running cyber ranges worldwide for the government, military and global cyber defense, plus private sector industries like energy, insurance and finance.
