Terdell Nash is a Technical Program Manager and Governance, Risk, and Compliance practitioner with experience spanning federal intelligence operations, enterprise IT, and applied AI development.

He currently serves as Technical Program Manager for Chesapeake Connects (CCX), a $47 million municipal broadband expansion initiative funded through the City of Chesapeake. In this role, he coordinates infrastructure delivery, vendor performance, and compliance tracking across a multi-stakeholder initiative extending high-speed internet access to underserved communities throughout the region.

Prior to his current role, Terdell provided consulting support to federal agencies including FEMA and the U.S. Department of Energy, contributing to risk management, security operations, and governance alignment work. His earlier career in Coast Guard Intelligence and DHS consulting provided direct experience with classified network protection and federal compliance frameworks.

Terdell holds CISSP, PMP, CGRC, and Security+ certifications and brings working knowledge of NIST, ISO, and CMMC frameworks to each engagement — practical experience earned in real environments, not just exam prep.

Outside of his primary role, Terdell founded Terdell Nash Consulting,LLC, an Technoical Program Management and GRC agency, and developed AbleSphere, an AI-powered education support platform that placed second in a Microsoft AI Hackathon.

He is building his independent consulting practice and is currently open to engagements where he can contribute directly — GRC assessments, AI governance work, IT audit support, and technical program coordination.
