ITC Federal has hired former FBI executive Sean M. Cox as its new vice president of FBI client relations, adding a leader with nearly three decades of federal law enforcement and mission-IT experience to guide the company’s work with the Bureau.
Cox moves to ITC after senior business development roles focused on justice and law enforcement technology. Most recently, he was vice president of justice and law enforcement at Paradyme, where he led growth across DOJ, FBI, DHS/CBP, and state and local markets, built a pipeline exceeding $100 million, and aligned offerings in AI/ML, DevSecOps, Zero Trust, cloud, and video analytics to mission needs. Before that, he directed law enforcement business development at General Dynamics Information Technology, driving capture efforts and positioning solutions for investigative, intelligence, and public-safety programs.
Cox’s government background underpins the client-facing role. He served as special agent in charge of the FBI’s Springfield Division, overseeing operations across 84 Illinois counties with portfolios spanning counterterrorism, counterintelligence, cybercrime, civil rights, public corruption, crimes against children, violent gangs, and narcotics. Earlier assignments included section chief at FBI Headquarters leading domestic counterintelligence operations, assistant special agent in charge in St. Louis, supervisory roles in Milwaukee and at FBI Headquarters’ Counterterrorism Division, and investigative work in the Chicago Division, including early Joint Terrorism Task Force leadership after 9/11. He is a Presidential Rank Award recipient.
Cox also brings private-sector security leadership from Eastman, where he built a global insider-threat program that integrated behavioral analytics, SIEM, and cross-functional risk protocols. Across industry and government roles, he has managed strategy, crisis response, interagency coordination under NIMS, stakeholder engagement with DOJ and congressional staffs, and compliance-driven technology adoption.
At ITC Federal, Cox will serve as the FBI client executive, based remotely in Fairfax County, Va. According to the company’s 7, he will draw on his operational insight, procurement familiarity, and technology strategy experience to strengthen partnerships and advance secure, mission-ready IT solutions for the Bureau.
