Trent Frazier

As the Assistant Director of the Stakeholder Engagement Division (SED) in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Trent Frazier works collaboratively across CISA, overseeing the agency’s national and international partnerships and stakeholder outreach programs while directing efforts for shared engagement information and coordination that supports CISA’s unified mission delivery.

Leveraging the agency’s convening authorities, Frazier facilitates the CISA Director’s national coordinator role by overseeing multiple sector and cross-sector functions, including that of Sector Risk Management Agency for eight of the nation’s 16 critical infrastructure. He also oversees multiple partnership and advisory councils, including those that advise the Director and the President. These mechanisms for public-private partnership ensure that CISA directly engages subject matter experts to collaboratively identify then address high priority issues, often resulting in new products and services that help critical infrastructure stakeholders increase their security and resilience.

As a member of CISA’s senior leadership team, Trent regularly represents the agency to senior administration officials, congressional engagements, and in bi-lateral and multilateral exchanges with both domestic and international partners on a broad range of policy and operational concerns. 

Prior to joining CISA, Trent served in a variety of leadership roles throughout the Department of Homeland Security, where he focused on protecting and building resiliency within the higher education community; developing cross-border transportation infrastructure; as well as workforce, acquisition, and program management.

Trent has received the Secretary’s Award for Excellence and multiple leadership awards across the Department. He has a Juris Doctorate from Washington University School of Law and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Missouri at Columbia. He began his federal career as a Presidential Management Fellow and has since been a fellow in the Harvard Senior Executive Fellows Program.
