The ocean remains one of the least explored environments on Earth, yet it is rapidly becoming one of the most important frontiers for technology and national security. In this episode of Tech Transforms, Carolyn Ford welcomes Abbey Fabian, Strategic Lead at Raytheon and President of Women in Defense Greater Boston, for a conversation about the emerging world of blue tech and the leadership principles driving innovation across the defense industry.
Abbey explains how technologies designed for underwater environments must overcome challenges unlike anything encountered on land or in the air, and why advances in AI, software-defined systems, and sensing technologies will reshape the future of ocean exploration and defense. She also discusses her role connecting innovative startups with large defense organizations, offering valuable insight into what differentiates truly exceptional companies from the rest.
Beyond technology, the conversation explores leadership, mentorship, and professional growth.
