I am moving on from my work with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU).
I want to express my gratitude for the opportunity to have led our commercial AI/ML efforts.
It has been an honor to work alongside a team focused on delivering capabilities to our warfighters.
Achievements
I am proud of the contributions we’ve made.
We’ve accelerated the adoption of critical AI/ML capabilities across the Department of Defense while ensuring these advancements directly support those on the front lines.
Seeing the impact of our work on enhancing mission effectiveness and safeguarding our national security has been truly rewarding.
Impact
The strides we’ve made in bridging the gap between commercial innovation and defense needs are significant.
We’ve fostered crucial partnerships, streamlined acquisition processes, and ultimately, delivered results that empower our forces.
I’m confident that the foundation we’ve built will continue to drive progress and ensure the U.S. military maintains its technological edge.
Conclusion
I will deeply miss being part of this mission, but will continue to support our national interest through focusing on the progress of our communities and Main Street America.
More to come!
