Ownership mentality
We operate with speed and own the outcomes of our efforts. Our teams have autonomy and trust because we operate with an innate drive for excellence and impact. We create, improve, and iterate without being asked to do so, and we’re only satisfied by a meaningful outcome.
Humility
We move quickly, pivot when needed, and aren’t afraid to admit when we are wrong. We have low egos, don’t take things personally, and foster a working environment of mutual respect. This allows us to be innovative and resilient.

When we think about AI in national security, we tend to think about autonomous weapon systems. In my experience, AI in national security is instead best applied toward improving our ability to analyze and reason over large volumes of data to enable better, data-driven decisions from the tactical to the strategic. Domains like intelligence production and information operations are areas that can massively benefit from improved AI decision-making without the safety risks associated with kinetic operations.
