General Doorenbos brings significant relevant and diverse experience and expertise to the Kratos Board.
In her nearly 25 years of distinguished military service, General Doorenbos has served in leadership positions in the White House, Headquarters Air Force, and National Guard Bureau. Her experience includes time as a Special Assistant to Vice President Biden for Defense Policy and Intelligence Programs, as a White House Fellow serving alongside the Secretary of Agriculture, and as Military Deputy for Air Force Training and Readiness where she had responsibilities over Air Force’s operational training infrastructure, readiness and reporting, and aircrew management.
General Doorenbos also served as the Wing Commander of the 188th Wing, overseeing its transition from the manned A-10 Warthog to the unmanned MQ-9 Reaper, Intelligence Analysis and Targeting missions. Prior to that, she led the 214th Reconnaissance Group at Davis Monthan Air Force Base as it gained MQ-1s and stood up a Launch and Recovery unit at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. General Doorenbos joined the Air Force as an F-16 pilot, and is one of a small handful of the first women to fly fighter aircraft. As a pilot in both the Sioux City, Iowa and Washington, D.C. Air National Guard units, she participated in Operations SOUTHERN WATCH, NOBLE EAGLE, and IRAQI FREEDOM, and has extensive experience at the National Guard Bureau in the Operations, Intelligence, and Requirements/Acquisitions Directorates. General Doorenbos graduated from Iowa State University with a B.B.A. in Finance, then went on to graduate with a M.S. in Strategic Intelligence from the Defense Intelligence Agency’s National Defense Intelligence College, and an Executive MBA from the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. General Doorenbos has extensive current and previous Board experience, with service on the Boards of the White House Fellows Foundation and Association, the National Guard Association, and STEM Flights, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to educating high school students about STEM career fields in aviation. She is also a Senior Advisor with The Roosevelt Group, a public speaker, executive coach, and a commercial airline pilot, flying the Airbus 320.
"We are pleased to welcome General Doorenbos to the Company’s Board of Directors. Her appointment reflects the Board’s commitment over the last several years to add directors with important relevant experience to our business and industry," said Amy Zegart, Chair of the Board’s Nominating & Governance Committee.
