Anthony McCloskey

About Me

I'm Anthony McCloskey. I started my career in the Navy. As a Navy Chief, I learned what it means to lead from the front and earn respect through action. Those lessons shaped everything I’ve done since.

After the Navy, I carved out a niche in cybersecurity and data analytics, working with companies like Salesforce, Comcast, and Twitter. I’ve led high-stakes security teams, launched internal AI tools, and built threat detection programs that scaled globally. Today, I focus on making complex systems simpler, smarter, and more secure—whether that’s in tech, compliance, or civic data.

I’m also deeply involved in my local community in Jenkintown, PA, where I ran for school board to push for more transparency, accountability, and equitable education. My roots are in Philly, my drive comes from a rough start to life, and my mission is to use what I’ve learned to make things better for others.

Civic Engagement

I’m driven by one thing: protecting our community and democracy. That commitment started in the Navy and only intensified with today’s challenges.

🇺🇸 Veteran Advocacy

I work with Common Defense and Veterans Fighting Fascism to defend civil rights and uphold the Constitution. Together, we:

• Mobilized veterans to vote and speak out
• Supported legislative efforts on military and civil rights issues
• Delivered community training sessions on civic engagement
