Rachelle Channell
Managing Principal
Principal Advisor
Titanium Infrastructure was founded in 2015 after Rachelle Channell identified a niche need for specialized executive and fractional advisory services, following prior leadership experience as Vice President of a cleared contracting firm and nearly two decades of earlier management roles across human resources and operations.
Rachelle Channell is a doctoral student in Sociology at West Virginia University and Managing Principal of Titanium Infrastructure, combining more than 30 years of professional experience with applied academic research.
Her background spans 19 years of military and defense contractor experience, cleared GovCon environments, insider threat, facility security, workforce risk, human resources, organizational governance, sociology, psychology, public health, and applied research. She has worked across cleared-industry security programs, insider threat responsibilities, workforce concerns, organizational risk, and research involving social systems, institutional behavior, and human behavior.
Her work focuses on how people, risk, structure, and sensitive assets interact inside organizations — especially where security, workforce, leadership, and governance concerns overlap. Through Titanium Infrastructure, she supports organizational stabilization through human systems design, workforce risk governance, insider threat prevention and identification protocols, intellectual property protection, applied sociological analysis, and social geometry.
Her broader research interests include espionage, corporate espionage, trade secret theft, organizational realignment, extraction industries, corporate power and corruption, eminent domain, marginalized communities, medical sociology, trauma, dysfunctional systems, stigmatization, personality dynamics, and high-trust environments such as national security organizations.
The firm’s work is grounded in the intersection of people, risk, structure, and sensitive assets — helping organizations identify internal vulnerabilities, strengthen governance, and improve organizational stability.

A Cross-Disciplinary Risk Perspective
Titanium Infrastructure brings together experience across cleared government contracting, insider threat, workforce risk, human resources, organizational behavior, applied sociology, psychology, public health, and research analysis.
This perspective supports advisory work where security, workforce, leadership, governance, and organizational systems overlap — especially when internal risk is shaped by both human behavior and organizational structure.
