Since June 2014 he has led the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council as its Executive Director and previously led Bank of America's external cybersecurity partnerships.

Garcia also led policy development on the staff of the House Science Subcommittee on Research, as head of 3Com Corp's Washington office, and as vice president for the Information Security for the Information Technology Association of America and American Electronics Association, two industry trade associations that merged in 2009 as TechAmerica.
