Angold left the military in 2005 and joined Blackbird Technologies, a solutions provider for the intelligence community that’s now part of RTX. After a stint at VP Expeditionary Programs in 2010, Angold joined ADS as Navy vertical manager. He held a variety of sales positions before being promoted to CEO in June 2022.
