Leadership

Some leaders build companies. Others build a community.

Shana Cosgrove, CEO of Nyla Technology Solutions, is doing both. She had a vision: bring together a group of high-performing professionals in the DoD tech space.

Not for panels. Not for pitches. Just space—to connect, relax, and actually get to know each other.

She made the call. Reserved the rooms. Took the financial risk. No guarantee anyone would come.

But they did. Over 20 talented, accomplished leaders showed up.
What happened?

→ Meaningful connections.
→ Candid conversations.
→ A powerful ecosystem of Maryland, DC & Virginia tech talent—off the grid, but fully plugged in.

At the heart of it all: Shana. Taking the mic. Sharing her journey. Strong. Vulnerable. Honest.

That’s leadership.

Not the kind you read about.
The kind you feel when you’re in the room.

The best kind of leadership often begins with a risk – and no guarantees.
