On March 30, Denver, CO-based Palantir Technologies Inc. unveiled members of its inaugural Palantir Federal Advisory Board (PFAB). This highly respected group of leaders will provide their expert perspectives on today’s defense, intelligence, and homeland security challenges, enabling Palantir to continue to meet the evolving and complex needs of its United States government (USG) customers.
Members of the board include:
- The Honorable Christine H. Fox, Former Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense, and Former Assistant Director, Policy and Analysis, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory
- General Carter F. Ham, USA (Retired), Former Commander, United States Africa Command, and Former President and CEO of the Association of the United States Army
- The Honorable Deborah Lee James, Former Secretary of the United States Air Force
- Admiral William H. McRaven, USN (Retired), Former Commander, United States Special Operations Command, and Former Chancellor of the University of Texas
- Vice Admiral Peter V. Neffenger, USCG (Retired), Former Vice Commandant of the United States Coast Guard, and Former TSA Administrator, United States Department of Homeland Security
The Honorable Jeh Johnson, former Secretary of Homeland Security at the Department of Homeland Security and Counselor to Palantir, will also join PFAB meetings.
This board reaffirms Palantir’s commitment to the US Government and puts first class advisors at the intersection of Palantir and its government customers. This group of experts have first-hand experience facing America’s most urgent threats. As pioneers and innovators, they know that the institutions charged with protecting the United States can no longer do so adequately without the kind of readily deployable emerging technology that companies like Palantir offer.
“From the outset, Palantir has built software to solve the most critical problems facing the United States and its allies abroad,” said Alexander Karp, co-founder and chief executive officer of Palantir Technologies Inc. “We invited these national security leaders to join our first government advisory board because of the exceptional contributions they have made to this country in their years of public service, as well as the expertise and unwavering integrity they have brought to addressing the most significant national security challenges we collectively face.”
“We’re excited to formally welcome these leaders to the Palantir team,” said Aki Jain, president of Palantir USG. “At the heart of everything we do and every mission we undertake, is an unequivocal commitment to maintaining America’s technological superiority. These national security leaders have a combined 230 years of first-hand experience in addressing our most complex threats. They understand how advanced technologies are profoundly changing the national security landscape and will advise us on how to more effectively translate our cutting-edge tech into operational advantage for our government partners.”
