O’Sullivan retired from the federal government in 2017 after six years as principal deputy director of national intelligence, the second-highest leadership post at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. She worked with the DNI to manage the IC’s day-to-day operations.
Prior to that role, O’Sullivan served as associate deputy director at the CIA and also in several management positions within that agency’s directorate of science and technology.

USCG’s brand new national security cutter seizes 970 kilos of cocaine January 12, 2021, by Naida Hakirevic
While on its maiden voyage, the US Coast Guard’s new national security cutter USCGC Stone (WMSL 758) encountered and interdicted a suspected narcotic trafficking vessel south of the Dominican Republic last week.
At the time of the interdiction, the newbuild was in transit to conduct joint operations off the coast of Guyana as part of Operation Southern Cross. The crew on the USCGC Stone prepare to launch one of the ship’s small boats in the Caribbean Sea on Jan. 6, 2021.
Having stopped the illicit activity, Stone handed off the case to the USCGC Raymond Evans (WPC 1110), a fast response cutter from Key West, Florida, and continued its patrol south.
