Marty Stansell-Gamm retired from federal service in 2007 after eight years as chief of the Justice Department’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section—a program she joined and helped to build from its creation in 1991.  The work of CCIPS includes criminal investigations and prosecutions, law enforcement training, legislation, international work, and advising the federal sector on a broad range of information-technology and intellectual-property issues.

Marty and the members of her office, in conjunction with many law enforcement partners, have investigated and prosecuted notable cases worldwide, and have written significant amendments to key federal statutes, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act.  They also served as lead US negotiators for the first-ever multilateral treaty on cybercrime, signed by the US in 2001 and ratified in 2006. Marty and CCIPS have also built, trained, and supported a robust, cooperative national network of federal prosecutors, now numbering over 230 Assistant US Attorneys, that specializes in prosecuting computer and intellectual property crime.  She and other members of CCIPS also spoke frequently to the public and the press.

Since her retirement, Marty has served as a member of the Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency, led by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.  In that capacity, she testified in 2008 before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

From 1980-91, Marty was a judge advocate with the United States Air Force, where she served as both prosecutor and defense counsel in Europe.  In addition, she taught criminal law and trial advocacy at the AF Judge Advocate General School, and practiced international law in Hawaii with Pacific Air Forces and the joint command, US Pacific Command. She is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of DePauw University, and holds a J.D. from Georgetown University and an Ll.M. from Harvard Law School.
