Director, SOCOM Business Development

Anduril Industries is a defense technology company with a mission to transform U.S. and allied military capabilities with advanced technology. By bringing the expertise, technology, and business model of the 21st century’s most innovative companies to the defense industry, Anduril is changing how military systems are designed, built and sold. Anduril’s family of systems is powered by Lattice OS, an AI-powered operating system that turns thousands of data streams into a realtime, 3D command and control center. As the world enters an era of strategic competition, Anduril is committed to bringing cutting-edge autonomy, AI, computer vision, sensor fusion, and networking technology to the military in months, not years.

The Connected Warfare division provides the joint, time sensitive, multi domain, ubiquitous, connected mesh ecosystem built from hardware, software and partners to solve mission command problems. This mesh powers applications and unifies Anduril capabilities which provide mission command to the warfighter and allow real time decisions at the tactical, operational and strategic level of war. This ecosystem enables disproportional impact by connecting every robot, human and sensor in every domain, bringing together hundreds of thousands of end points across the planet allowing Anduril to be the source of truth for any time sensitive decision, transforming the way militaries close kill chains and enable mission autonomy, and developers to build experiences in a connected mesh ecosystem.
