LEADERSHIP
Leadership
Fadi A. Muhsen is the Founder of OPACC, Inc., a strategic advisory, cyber operations, threat intelligence, and private security services firm supporting the national security and critical infrastructure sectors, as well as government and commercial organizations.
With over 15 years of experience spanning national security, geopolitical risk, cyber operations, energy security, protective intelligence, investigations, and cyber-physical security, Mr. Muhsen has supported complex mission environments requiring the integration of intelligence, security, and operational decision-making. Throughout his career, he has worked at the intersection of cyber, physical, and operational risk, helping organizations translate complex threats into informed decisions that strengthen resilience and support mission success. His experience includes supporting federal protective missions, conducting physical and cyber-physical security assessments, advising senior leadership, and supporting investigative, intelligence, and federal law enforcement activities across national security, critical infrastructure, and complex operating environments.
Mr. Muhsen established and matured a cyber-physical security capability within a Federal law enforcement component under the Department of Homeland Security, building it from the ground up into an operational division responsible for security assessments, threat intelligence, investigations, and risk management activities supporting critical infrastructure and mission-critical operations. By integrating cyber, physical, intelligence, and investigative capabilities, he helped advance a more resilient approach to managing risk across complex and converged operating environments. He continues to advise organizations operating in increasingly interconnected environments where cyber-physical security, intelligence, and operational priorities converge.
Through OPACC, Mr. Muhsen advises organizations operating at the intersection of national security, critical infrastructure, and complex operating environments by delivering intelligence-driven strategic advisory, mission assurance, and security capabilities that strengthen resilience and protect mission-critical operations.
In addition to his operational experience, Mr. Muhsen's academic and professional interests include critical infrastructure protection, geopolitical risk, and the evolving threat landscape, with particular emphasis on asymmetric and hybrid threats. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Masters from Georgetown University.
