She brings decades of national security and intelligence experience, including recent roles as the Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for South Asia on the National Security Council and as the Senior Defense Official and Defense Attaché to India. Her journey began at the U.S. Naval Academy, commissioning in 1990, and continued through pivotal roles as an officer in the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System and as an intelligence collection manager with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Eileen’s leadership extended across Joint Commands, including U.S. Space Command and U.S. Strategic Command, where she supported complex operational intelligence efforts and served as Chief of Special Project Branch and Operations Officer (J3). In Afghanistan, she led the Operational Coordination Group, working with senior Afghan government officials. Her command tours include overseeing the Office of Naval Intelligence and directing the Joint Reserve Intelligence Support Element at Offutt Air Force Base. Eileen’s dedication has been recognized with prestigious awards, including the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Defense Superior Service Medal, and the Legion of Merit, among others. Beyond her professional achievements, Eileen has been married to Chris Laubacher for 30 years, she is a proud mother of five, whom she homeschooled for 15 years, and a grandmother to three.
