Incoming NSA chief has a reputation for winning ‘all the important fights.’ Russia will be his biggest test yet.; Washington Post, April 1, 2018

Ellen Nakashima, Washington Post; Incoming NSA chief has a reputation for winning ‘all the important fights.’ Russia will be his biggest test yet.

"“[Paul Nakasone is] a smart, assertive leader,” said Kevin McLaughlin, Cybercom’s former deputy commander, who worked with Nakasone when he led its National Mission Force, whose task is to guard the nation against cyberattacks...

“He’ll need to propose innovative ways to defend the United States in collaboration with other elements of the government and with the private sector,” McLaughlin said. “I am confident Paul can do that.”

Naksone [sic] is calm, not one to berate subordinates, colleagues say...

“He’s humble,” former NSA deputy director Chris Inglis said. “He’s forthright. He supports his people. The most important thing is he’s the kind of person who will inspire you to your best efforts.”...

If confirmed, Nakasone will become the first Japanese American to lead a major spy agency."
